It Depends on the Circumstances

I wrote a little while ago about what people would like to have on their headstones.

 

Well, earlier today I was describing a trip to a friend and I said, “After I finished seeing what I had come to see, I started to go home, but then I saw a path and I took it. It led to a park, and eventually I found myself at a Shakespeare festival.”

 

“Hmm,” I thought. “That might look good on a headstone: ‘I saw a path and I took it.’”

 

 

Then I thought: “Unless that’s the reason I ended up needing the headstone.”
