“All Thinking is Wishful.”

“I think I wished for you all of my life.”

“So it's pretty simple for me: Love when you can. Do the work that is yours to do. Be the person that is yours to be at any given time. Think to wish for what is yours at this very moment. To love. To serve. To touch. To know. Think to wish for all that is yours to have. Think to wish for all that is yours to do. And think to wish that you might be who it is that you might most fully be. Avoid wishful thinking. Avoid the traps and pitfalls of nostalgia for the past. Savor every moment as it passes. And enlist yourself in saving that which can be saved this very moment, ir order that it, too, may endure for others to enjoy.”

“I wish people were all trees and I think I could enjoy them then.”

“As they were carting him off on a gurney, all I could think was, I wish that was me.”

“You should never wish for wishful thinking.”
