Birthday Cakes Of Bicycles




sentirsi vecchio

If I could live my life again,
in the next try to make more mistakes.
not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.
would be sillier than I have been, in fact
take fewer things seriously.
would be less hygienic.
run more risks, would
more trips, contemplate more sunsets
,
climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
go to more places I've never been,
eat more ice cream and fewer beans
have more real problems and less imaginary.

I was one of those people who lived sensibly and prolifically
every minute of his life;
clear that I had moments of joy.
If I could go back I would try
to have only good moments.

case you did not know that life is made,
only moments, do not miss the now.

I was one of those who never went to any
anywhere without a thermometer,
a hot water bottle,
an umbrella and a parachute
if I could live again, I would travel lighter.

If you could relive
begin to walk barefoot in early spring

and continue barefoot until autumn ends. I would take more turns
carts,
contemplate more dawns,
and play with more children,
if I had another life ahead.

But you see, I have 85 years ...
and I know I'm dying.

(Jorge Luis Borges)
