Silent Contemplation

As the seasons change...and we slip slowly from spring into summer...my desires change as well.

My focus readjusts, my soul feels a yearning for change and growth.

We're all striving towards something, right?

If you could make one wish right now, for something to come true, what would it be?

What are you striving for right now?

My one wish...hmmm....for myself, it would be that I wish I could find the strength and determination to be what I want to be.

I have different wishes for my children and for the entire population and for Earth...

Life is more complicated than a single wish, I think.

Parachute Balls of Hope

When's the last time you picked up a dandelion and blew to make a wish?

I took this photo a little over a week ago.

But I didn't pick the dandelion...or blow off the parachute sphere part to make a wish.

Its not that I don't have wishes.

I do.

I haven't lost hope in wishes.

I think they are very important.

Hope is what keeps us alive and motivated.

But, I have to admit, my storage of hope has diminished somewhat lately.

I find myself disappointed in people.

I feel slightly adrift at sea again, trying to find my way.

I'm trying to stay on course, but my compass has gone missing.

What do you do to keep yourself on track?

To maintain faith in people?

To replenish your hope?

Fairy Godparents

My children told me they would love to have Fairy Godparents.

How am I supposed to compete with that?

Seriously?

If they did have fairy godparents to grant my boys' every wish,

the world would be in deep doodoo.

We'd have robot armies and alien monsters running loose.



It's too bad.
Guess they're stuck with me.
