WHAT OUR POETS
ARE SAYING
Each of the seven poets offered one line based on the prompt, "if I could choose my path."
Paul Rabinowitz
If I could choose my path, I don't think I would do anything different from what I have done.
If I could choose my path, I would have more compassion, and had more depth with people.
If I could choose my path, it would encompass all the areas of gray, black, white and in-between.
If I could choose my path, I would have appreciated the moment.
If I could choose my path, I would put a lot more thought into the initial choice, because after choosing you make room for correction and the choice would be wiser.
If I could choose my path, I would linger longer and listen to the sages.
If I could choose my path, I think I wouldn't have jumped to things; I would have given it more thought.
If I could choose my path, it would encompass all the areas of gray, black, white and in-between.
If I could choose my path, I would have appreciated the moment.
If I could choose my path, I would put a lot more thought into the initial choice, because after choosing you make room for correction and the choice would be wiser.
If I could choose my path, I would linger longer and listen to the sages.
If I could choose my path, I think I wouldn't have jumped to things; I would have given it more thought.
