Twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover. ~ Mark Twain
Twenty years from now!
My mid 90’s? I would not want
to to be disappointed then!
Am I too old to throw off bowlines?
To sail away from safe harbor?
To catch trade winds in sails?
I’ve only been in a sailboat
lacking a knowledgable pilot once…
more than forty years ago,
and the other occupant took the helm…
But I can certainly learn to explore,
to dream, to discover…
and perhaps how to sail a boat!
How about you?
Are you up for the adventure?
