Wishing for....?

"If you could have three wishes, what would they be?" I was recently asked this question. And it took considerable thought for me to come up with an answer, but it also sparked a much larger internal philosophical discussion about karma, grace, and how we inevitably make our wishes come true (or not). I decided to approach this hypothetical question as if the person asking could in fact make my wishes real. I mean, you never know....right? There's that whole "be careful what you wish for" thing. First I had to decide what a "wish" is to me. Is it about something completely unrealistic? Like, wishing that I would wake up tomorrow with x-ray vision and the ability to read people's thoughts? Or are they about achieving something possible, but highly unlikely? For instance....world peace, or the end of famine. Should a wish be about making life more comfortable? Like, eradicating worries, concerns, issues (and boy do I have plenty of those!), and other normal irritants that life serves us up in daily doses.
What I came up with is this: When I think of something that I wish for...it is generally something that is possible...and likely, to the point that I believe in it. While it would be cool to have x-ray vision, I would never be able to be surprised when opening a gift, or seeing what's behind mystery door number 2. And ending famine sounds wonderful, but I would be altering the course of other people's paths through my will (karma doesn't like that). And you know, without worries and irritants, how would I know to cherish what is pure and beautiful? We all dream of things that we are probably never going to do...like jumping off of a bluff and taking flight, or traveling to the edge of space and discovering what is there, experiencing eternal life...so why not make our wishes something that can actually happen? I think that is the only way to get more wishes. Go out and make one happen, then you've got room for another. Can you imagine the positive energy shift that would occur in this world if we were all experiencing the satisfaction of realizing our wishes? I'm not going to tell you what my wishes are, but I'm working on one of them as I write this post and in order for me to make it come true, I have to ask y'all to ponder this - If you could have three wishes, what would they be?
