what I wish for

There is this trend going around the blog world.  Bloggers write a post entitled "If you knew me..." and fill in various facts and tidbits about themselves.

My version of this is  "This is what I wish for..."

In no particular order except for the first one.
If I could have just one wish it would be this:


I wish for animals to be treated better.   I can so clearly imagine the disappointment God and the animals feel toward us humans and how poorly we treat them.  Nearly every day I see the pain of an animal's fear, terror or sadness.  It might be a dead animal on the side of the road, a lonely dog pinned in a small fenced area of a yard, chickens and cows on the backs of huge trucks on the way to the slaughter house, or those tv spots showcasing unwanted animals in shelters.  I truly feel that these innocent souls were put on this earth to be treated with the utmost respect and humanity.


I wish for people to listen more and talk less.


For all of the evil people ( and you KNOW who you are) to just spontaneously combust and vanish from society forever.   This includes, but is not limited to, people responsible for withholding food, attacking non-violent people, gaining control over impressionable ones and then reigning havoc over their souls, murderers, etc.




I wish to be able to do what makes me happy with no concerns about money.   To be able to do something that makes me happy all day every day.




I wish for better clothes.  I just hate all but two shirts and a dress.  My drawers are a huge disappointment every morning.




For people to REALLY and TRULY put themselves in others' shoes.  To really imagine what another person is going thorough and how they would handle that situation.


That water, clean air and food were free.  I mean , after all, shouldn't they be?


That pets and parents lived forever.


I wish that teleporting and telekinesis were a reality and not just a Star Trek fantasy.


I wish there were communities that worked together to grow their own food and not have to be dependent upon grocery stores.  All of this "progress" has resulted in a society that cannot take care of themselves and must rely on others for their livelihood.  I guess this is what a commune is...dammit!  I'm a hippy!


Lord knows I'd like to be blessed with a better body.  Trivial wish I know.  But, if I could walk around with a great ass and some gorgeous legs,  I just KNOW I'd be happier!


A summer home in Seattle, a winter home in Pawley's island, a spring home in New York City, and an autumn home in New England, and my tall drink of water to live next door.


I wish the God mystery could be solved.  None of this "we find out when we die" business.  So many of the world's problems stem from the not knowing and the fighting over what is believed to be true.


Namaste.
