When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree
For I'll begin to roam and soon you'll know where I will be
I was born under a wandrin' star
A wandrin' wandrin' star
-From the western musical, "Paint Your Wagon."
I love the humor in these lines. And those of us who were born with restless hearts identify with the truth they capture. Some people are just born with a insatiable thirst for adventure. Perhaps when I get to heaven I will ask to be tied to a tree, but during my time here on earth, I plan to roam until my spirit of adventure is satisfied. And that, I fully realize, may never happen.
