Wish is such a complicated word

Yet

I had learned to knit while my fingers were free from age’s pains

I had learned to swim better so I could explore nature with less trepidation

I had developed the habit of daily writing and reflection so I could recall more of life’s lessons…

When put together, I wish I heeded my grandfather’s warning to sit quietly to occupy my time; because in those moments, I would learn more about myself than I would ever learn from the noise of others’ voices.
