If it's enough to love

like french accents, french songs are to die for...

S'il Suffisait D'aimer (If it's enough to love)
Celine Dion

last night i couldn't answer when asked what i would wish for if if God granted me a single wish. there are too many wishes to have! if love be enough, could i wish for all to love each other? perhaps i will ask God to let me take this wish with me, and wish one day when wiser...but there will always be the temptation to wish when little things go wrong. perhaps it is good i never have a wish guaranteed to come true.

perhaps magic doesn't exist because human beings are not wise enough to hold such power.

a small group of us had an outing last night...and we found a place where the stars were bright. and we lay back and talked and even sang. it seemed like the right thing to do, somehow. there, it felt like an alternate universe, the red lights on the cranes at the construction sites west transformed into a forest of steampunk-ish ents. the lights at the other end looked like a city from a science fiction movie. and there was the giant crane s and i found recently, where the ball of fire was, which lighted up the sky and became a guide of sorts. i will go there again...

the room of echoes, shelob's stair...so are we uncovering secret spaces? or are we transforming the banal into the fantastic, because we have discovered a a desire within us that nothing in the world can satisfy, and we try to invent it on our own?

i just realized that s and i both had imaginary pets when younger, and for some reason our pets were horses and wolves.

perhaps she would be enraptured by this poem too, as i was and still am:

Old longings nomadic leap
Chafing at custom's chain;
Again from its brumal sleep
Wakens the ferine strain.

Atavism, John Myers O'Hara

i have dark tendencies. hahaha. lol. i may have punned.

i can't wait to find a bricked up wall opening to another dimension. perhaps a trapdoor opening to the sky and then you push it up and are whisked to the sphere, and then everything you think of comes true, even your greatest fears.

i'm having great fun mixing up existing fantasy and sci-fi
