Twenty years from now
you will 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 harbour.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.~ Mark Twain
I covered a couple of youth based events this weekend, the Mississauga Choral Festival, featuring a few children’s choirs, as well as the Youth Can Move the World symposium, which gave the youth of today’s society tools to help make a difference in this world.
To put it shortly, I was moved by all the work the youth have done, and especially by the Wildfire dance team. I love to dance and the notion of being able to travel to various continents in the world and communicate through dance … makes me think … what was I doing when I was younger?
I had all my credits to get into University at 16 … I think I should’ve been learning about life … or roaming the world instead.
Better late than never. My sails are hoisted. Just waiting to throw off the bowlines. This time though, the wait won’t be long … and I’ll just go whereever the winds take me.
