Worry Stones
Oggi mentre riordinavo mi è capitata tra le mani una delle worry stone che avevo portato dall’Irlanda come ricordo. Secondo la tradizione è sufficiente strofinare queste pietre di marmo di Connemara per allontanare ogni preoccupazione. Sul retro della confezione c’era questa scritta:
There are only two things to worry about: either are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about, but if you are sick there are two things to worry about: either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. If you die then there are two things to worry about: either you go up or down.
If you go up, then there is nothing to worry about. but if you go down you will be so busy shaking hands with old friends you won’t have time to worry!
