Wishes and Graces

I wish:

We never had to say goodbye.

People we loved, and strangers we don't know, never had to suffer.

Time and money never prevented anyone from following their dreams.

Good intentions always culminated in productive action.

We could spare our children pain.

Love didn't come at a price.

But I'm grateful for:

A warm and wonderful place for my children to learn, with teachers who have sparked their imaginations.

Friends who chase their dreams.

Sunshine on a beautiful Spring day.

Abundance and choices.

A family who grounds me, sometimes creating the tension between physical and spiritual and sometimes transcending it.

The threads of gold woven into the tapestry of my life (thanks Jeanie for that image)
