Jorge Luis Borges - Instantes (Instants)

Jorge Luis Borges - Instantes (Instants)

If I were able to live my life anew, br In the next I would try to commit more errors. br I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more. br I would be more foolish than I've been, br In fact, I would take few things seriously. br I would be less hygienic. br I would run more risks, br take more vacations, br contemplate more sunsets, br climb more mountains, swim more rivers. br I would go to more places where I've never been, br I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans, br I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones. br br I was one of those people that lived sensibly br and prolifically each minute of his life; br Of course I had moments of happiness. br If I could go back I would try br to have only good moments. br br Because if you didn't know, of that is life made: br only of moments; Don't lose the now. br br I was one of those that never br went anywhere without a thermometer, br a hot-water bottle, br an umbrella, and a parachute; br If I could live again, I would travel lighter. br br If I could live again, br I would begin to walk barefoot from the beginning of spring br and I would continue barefoot until autumn ends. br I would take more cart rides, br contemplate more dawns, br and play with more children, br If I had another life ahead of me. br br But already you see, I am 85, br and I know that I am dying.
