Meditations Whilst Flying a kite
If I had my life to live over
I'd dare to make more mistakes next time,
Next time I'd relax, I would limber up
I would be sillier than I have been this trip,
I know of very few things I would take seriously.
I would laugh more and moan less.
I would take more chances.
I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers
and watch more sunsets.
I would watch less TV and have more picnics.
I would have only actual troubles and very few imaginary ones.
I would regret my mistakes, but not go on feeling guilty about them.
I would tell people that I like them and I would touch my friends.
I would forgive others for being human and I would hold no grudges.
I would play with more children and listen to more old people.
