I wish that everyone in the world acknowledges and appreciates the beauty and mystery of the universe like they did as children. This feeling has given me joy and wonder at being alive which I would love to pass on.

She enjoys reading, dancing, figure skating, learning, creating, math, science, people, animals, and healing. "My wish: to maintain a centered state of spirituality within myself

I am an introvert who loves science fiction and cats but hates children and religion freaks. My ultimate dream is to live in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (as alpha or beta). If the genie in the wishing stone can't cope with the imaginary worlds, then I wish a complete personality change in any direction which will make me happy in the environment where I live.

I love playing games, riding my horse, reading, and television. I wish for peace and quiet (not much of that in a boarding kennel), that people would really stop and use their brains more often (including myself), and be honest, and I wish for enough money so I don't have to keep worrying about it.

I was a teen in the 60's and enjoyed Woodstock, drugs, and free love. I started doing portraits, professionally, when I was 15 during summers in Atlantic City. I knew I wanted to be an artist, and thought college wasn't necessary, and I didn't want it to interfere with my creativity. I did portraits to earn a living and my own art at night until 1981. There was a recession and I had a toothache and no insurance. I got a temp job working in a bank, filing papers in numerical order. I did it so well that 11 years later I was an assistant vice president at the second largest bank in the country, traveling across the country, representing the bank as a computer analyst, making decisions that affected hundreds of people and earning good money. I worked 80-hour weeks: no social life, no art. My boss and mentor was the only person who mattered to me. He determined my worth. I wasn't doing a job. I was the job. The last thing that he would say to me would determine how I felt about myself until he spoke again. One day, he decided not to speak to me anymore. He wouldn't tell me why. I thought that I had disappeared. After six months of this torture, I bought a gun. I was going to kill myself because I couldn't go to work anymore and I couldn't not go. I saw a psychologist during this time, and after 4 years on medication and therapy and 4 stays in psych wards, and several suicide attempts (one where I took 120 xanax at my desk at work and left on a stretcher), I, now, am starting to believe that there are things in life that I enjoy. I have a fiancee. Last year, he said that he loved me. It was the first time I had ever heard 'I love you' from a man that I wasn't having sex with at the time. We rented a house (another first) and I finally have a dog that I love more than I ever expected. I attribute this success to my doctor. I was very lucky. I also paint ceramics and do gardening. Thank you for letting me vent. You look like a professor that I knew 20 years ago and some of the things that you quoted or said on your web page made me want to tell you all of this. Finally, my wishes. I wish for continuous peace of mind. I wish for peace of mind for my fiancee. I wish that I could create everything in my mind."

...please where can I buy a unicorn?

Life was good as a mom until I got bored. Now I juggle momness with studies as a re-entry college student in math and computer science. I enjoy weightlifting, running, cooking, clothes, traveling, Pete's Wicked Red ale, dark green colors, Siamese cats… My favorite author is Isaac Asimov. My favorite book is City by Clifford Simak. I recently read all of Anne Rice's Vampire novels and grew tired of them. Until returning to school this fall, I have been a full time mom and housewife for 15 years. This has been a varied and interesting occupation, but I am ready for a major change now that the kids are growing up. Here are my wishes. I wish I could talk to Pat again. I wish I could go to England to see Claire. I wish I felt beautiful again. I wish all the Mexicans would speak English. I wish people wouldn't throw their trash about. I wish it would rain more. I wish for my children to be happy. I wish my lilies would bloom.

I am fascinated by art, electronics, mysteries, puzzles, and spirituality. I work as a computer operator and I have a degree in computer programming. I enjoy traveling and learning new things as long as there is no pressure to make a grade. I wish for a greater understanding of God's purpose for my life. To be able to hear His voice as clear as those around me. I would like to be able to provide a comfortable retirement for my mother and to build a nice home for her which would be close by. I wish to have a nice home for my family and a lot of land with trees so I could keep the trees. I wish I had an income without having to spend so much time to get it. Winning the lottery would be nice. I wish I would be able to be thin without having to constantly struggle with weight loss. I wish for knowledge for my children, and myself, to be able to learn and understand without the struggle. I wish for my children to be safe, happy, and to find the perfect companion for their journey through this world. I wish to be able to paint beautiful pictures. And lastly I pray that my children will always remain true to God.

I wish for greater realization of my own personal power, my own house to decorate and make a home, someone to share it with, and freedom from debt.

I enjoy reading physics and technical books, programming, scientific visualization, drawing (art), rollerblading, camping, hiking, reviewing books for SAVIAC (government technical library), and assistant teaching in an adult literacy program. I wishes to understand Einstein's theories of relativity applied to gravitation, to become a better chess player, and to become a better communicator (written and oral).

I wish for knowledge, which is true power. I wish for wisdom, since knowledge without wisdom is useless. With knowledge and wisdom, all other wishes could be fulfilled.

I am interested in the world wide web, the X-files, and fractals. I wish for absolute, instant, and correct knowledge of what does and does not exist, for example, God, UFOs, life after death, anything that cannot currently be "proven". I also wish for absolute self- knowledge, such as what my actual limitations are. Then I would wish for the wisdom and enlightenment necessary to both live in relative peace with the information I've been given, because going insane is not high on my list. I would teach whatever is needed and wanted by others, if that is the wise thing to do. Wishes that are far more mundane spring to mind, but if the wishes I've described were granted me, the mundane wishes would cease to have any importance and I would no longer desire them, thus there is no need to list even one of them. Wisdom, truth and knowledge—that's what I want. I would only change me, because only a fool or God would wish to change the whole world. I wouldn't wish for knowledge of the future. I want knowledge, but not Godhood, so any change made outside myself could be unpredictably disastrous. For all I know, the world is just exactly as it's supposed to be. Possibly I am, too. Too bad the wishing stone is only theoretical!

I'm recently engaged and wish for a happy marriage. I wish Boston and San Diego were 10 miles apart so I wasn't so far from my family (in San Diego). I wish for enlightenment for both myself and fiancee so we know what we want to be when we grow up.

I wish I was an angel. I wish all of the criminals were in jail.

I wish I could make everyone happy.

I wish for another baby. My son is 9 years old now but I would like to have another. I am not infertile but finding the time to be pregnant would be difficult with my job situation.

Not only am I an MLS degreed librarian, but I also have 28 hours of graduate study in Applied Anthropology/Archaeology. My nonworking hours are entirely taken up with training my two Australian Shepherds for competition. I wish for life-long health, happiness and prosperity. I guess that translates into winning the lottery and buying a large farm so that I can take in unwanted/abandoned Australian Shepherds and train them for use as assistance, guide, and therapy dogs—anything that can give them a purpose in life.

I wish for peace, no guns, no more killing endangered species, no more pollution, and no more tobacco. I also wish for a house of my own where I could be by myself.

Very nice site!
