Wishing....

    The desire to wish for your situation to be different other than it is at this very moment is the thought of desire, wishing running. For most of us desire/wishing runs on automatic pilot without us being aware....like; oh I wish the weather would clear, wish I was anywhere but here right now, wish I could change the situation for you, wish my husband, wife, mate would_____ or were____, I wish we had more______ so we could have/do______.

    The desire/ wish list goes on indefinitely, as it can in the construct of duality, that is it's nature.  We make a wish when we blow out the birthday candles, we wish upon the first star, or a shooting star, the wish bone of the chicken, turkey, close your eyes and make a wish.... most cultures have a wishing tradition. The movie "Bucket List" has spurred and deepened the desire for a wish list! And so it goes on....

  There is play, a childs game in wishing, this is not what I am pointing to...

     If you like check lists...check in how many times you wish/desire things to be different at each moment of the day from what it is, and check in when one says, after this I can relax, rest...once this is done, I will...etc...

    Once you see where your attention lies, you will have created space, from here you can accept, enjoy each moment of life. Wishing and desires have nothing to do with life itself.

The wish/desire to be other than where you are at this very moment cloaks the gift of life itself.
