I would like to experience ...

These things I would like to experience ...

  • Jumping out of an airplane and feeling the slam of wind and dizzy effects of a freefall to earth.
  • A trip to space and a backward glance at the earth ... the place where I was born.
  • Meeting someone great like the His Holiness the Dalai Lama and having an audience with him with no one to bother either of us.
  • Embracing the longing for love with no sense of fear or reservation.
  • A week alone in the wilderness with all that I need to survive and enjoy the peace of the wild.
  • Just a moment on stage with my guitar, a great band and vocalist, and 5 minutes to solo while the crowd rages.
  • Bartending and listening to the stories people bring to the forefront of their lives when in a vulnerable moment.
  • Getting another chance to watch the birth of a baby - such beauty brings both tears and joy.
  • Cooking for a huge crowd of people and having all the money I need to buy what I must have to make it a night never to be forgotten.
  • Feeding the hungry in Africa ... laboring to provide a meal for someone that would otherwise die if I was not there to hand them sustenance.
  • A trip down the Amazon River with friends and our own personal traveling bartender!!!
  • To go into Barnes and Noble and see a book that I have authored and labored over on display.
  • Playing a classical guitar concert and hitting every note with perfection.
  • Taking my kids on an ultimate trip somewhere exotic.
  • Returning to my original stomping grounds in New York with my sisters and parents and remembering everything ... reliving the past for a moment in the Big Apple.
  • Having the time to read EVERY book in my library.
  • To feel the sincere touch of redemption and grace
  • To awake one day and realize that it really doesn't matter what others think about you so long as you have joy and grace in your heart.
  • To see my mother and father young again ...
  • I would like to wander all over the island of Puerto Rico and go on an archeological expedition there.
  • I would like to reach the age of sixty and then start counting backwards every year after that for thirty years.
