dear universe, are you listening?

more about these violets in the near future.

in the interest of revisiting my mantra that writing is the new praying, i hereby want...

~ to write for a living (this is the prayer, the rest is just a list (except perhaps the one about birch pollen)).

~ to make magical meals all week from only what's in the refrigerator and the cupboard.

~ to make a quilt of fabric i hand print myself.

~ to bake bread using a sourdough starter that i've been feeding for over a week.

~ to stop being allergic to birch pollen.

~ more sunny, beautiful days in the garden like today.

~ not to operate the tiller ever again (it's pure luck that i wasn't sucked into it and hacked to bits).

~ to design flags.

~ to see the hedgehog again.

~ another horse.

~ flowers from the garden in the house all summer long.

~ a good night's sleep.
