Wishes are everywhere.
They come in all shapes and sizes too.
There are Genie-In-The-Bottle Wishes, and then there are the kind you make when you blow out your birthday candles.
There are everyday wishes…. “Gaaawwwwwdddd. I wish this guy would get out of the fast lane for crying out loud.” And bigger varieties…. “I sure do wish I would win the PowerBall on Saturday.”
Good wishes… we send to someone on their wedding day, or their Barmitzvah.
It just depends on the day and the moment…. and the person. We send our wishes out to the Universe, or to God, or to the Wishy-Wash Fairy. Jimminy Cricket even sang a song to wish upon a star. Who knows.
But all those wishes boil down to the same thing…. a desire or hope for something to happen. The want or need for something…. somewhere… somehow.
And that, is the want, the desire, the hope, the yearning. The one we have all known.
I’ve probably made a ton of wishes in my life…. sometimes with purpose, and at other times…. inconsequently. But one thing I have learned about them…. Be careful what you wish for… because it might come true.
“We cannot wish for that we know not.” – Voltaire
Neighbor – Some moments in life touch my soul & make me teary eyed….I experienced that driving around 30 acres of “peace and love” and standing amongst friends and making a wish as I saw the sky fill with sky lanterns. Also, some people touch my soul as they exude generosity, peace and love from their being in such a gentle way, that also makes me teary eyed. I was teary eyed last night. Thank you P & M.
Neighbor! Thanks for sharing the day with us. You are the kind of friend I wish for. I just wish our picket fences were a little nearer geographically speaking.
Visit again soon, okay?
And THANKS.
