人間でも翼をもっている人がいる、なんて。
空を自由に飛べる人がいる、なんて。
この人といっしょになら、
世界の
どこにでも、飛んでいけるし、
どこにでも、降りられる。
新鮮で不思議な24時間だった。
一緒に空を飛んで、
そして一晩、
氷河をひとりじめした。
カヌーで氷の湖を漕いだ。
氷河の破片をとってきて、ウィスキーを飲んだ。
焚き火の暖かさを感じながら。
氷河が崩れる音を子守歌に、眠った。
この宝石のような景色を、この幸せな時間を、与えてくれた巡り合わせと偶然と幸運に、ただただ感謝。
つばさをもつ人。

この人と一晩かけて語った内容は、この詩のような、そんなこと。
＊＊＊
If I had my life to live over again, I'd try to make more mistakes next time.
I would 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 take more trips.
I would be crazier.
I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets,
I would do more walking and looking.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would have more actual troubles, and fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I am one of those people who lives life prophylactically and sensibly hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I have had my moments, and if I had to do it over again I'd have more of them.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing else, just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead each day.
I've been one of those people who never go anywhere without a thermometer, a hot-water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat, aspirin, and a parachute.
If I had to do it over again, I would go places, do things, and travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over I would start barefooted earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.
I would play hookey more.
I wouldn't make such good grades, except by accident.
I would ride on ore merry-go-rounds.
I'd pick more daisies.
