remarkably foolish wishlist

A list? He's doing a list?

First wish: I wish for you a moments peace. Just for a moment. As a child I dreamt that the entire world slept. I dreamt that we all slept at the same. Something about that stuck with me even then. I felt peaceful believing the world was asleep. So maybe when you go to sleep, the rest of the world is doing that too.

I remember one Christmas eve being dragged home in a sled during a snowstorm.My dad was pulling me. Mom was pulling my sister. I was falling asleep. I felt whole. Everything was light. We just felt warm. Close, like animals all balled up on each other. Those moments weren’t too bad. As an adult, I still get that sense of calm and quiet on Christmas eve. This puppy pile feeling, leads me to my second wish.

Second wish: I wish that you feel close to people you love. Whether they live on the other side of the globe or the other side of the street, hold them how you can. If not in your arms, hold those you love and miss in your hearts.

Third wish: I wish I had checked the message…
