WILD AND FREE; CHERISH THE MOMENT.
If I could live my life again...
If I could live my life again:
In the next life- I'll try
To make more mistakes.
I won't try to be so perfect,
I'll be more relaxed,
I'll be more full than I am now.
In fact I will take fewer things seriously,
I'll be less hygienic,
I'll take more risks,
I'll take more trips,
I'll watch more sunsets,
I'll climb more mountains
I'll swim more rivers
I'll go to more places- I've never been
I will eat more ice creams and less Lima beans,
I'll have more real problems- and less imaginary ones
I was one of those people who live
prudent and prolific lives each minute of this life
Of course that I had moments of joy- but,
If I could go back,
I'll try to have only good moments.
If you don't know- That's what life is made of,
Don't lose the now.
I was one of those who never goes anywhere
without a thermometer,
without a hot water bottle,
and without an umbrella, and without a parachute,
If I could live again,- I will travel light
If I could live again,- I'll try to work bare feet
at the beginning of spring till the end of autumn,
I'll ride more carts,
I'll watch more sunrises and play with more children.
If I have the life to live- but now I am 85,
and I know that I am dying.
.....Jorge Luis Borges. (1899-1996).
Famous Argentine poet.
