A Cyclical Wishlist

Emily wants to:

--spend an entire day doing nothing but hopping bookstores.
--walk down Josephine leisurely, laughing with company, picking up treasures, and breathing in
the scent of fresh country.
--have a bonfire. Molotov cocktail hitting scrap wood, fingers picking tunes, marshmallows burning, and stories all around.
--sew aprons to sell.
--run a tub of scalding water. Make use of it.
--plant lavender for picking, drying, and breathing.
--own very large dogs her entire life. Ones that lean their entire body weight on you, it's okay to have the temporary loss of circulation for that purpose.
--find, build, buy, and refinish more furniture.
--exchage a back massage.
--drink a cuppa. Black. Large.
--turn off all of the lights. Everywhere. Just for a while.
--plant, prune, pluck, and pick a garden.
--build a tree swing. Rope. Plank. Two holes. Two knots. Two loops. Children.
--give Dot a big hug.
--listen to music in the dark. With company.
--ride the Presbyterian merry-go-round.
--take a drive.
--buy some land.
--finish the semester gracefully.
--sleep outside.
--hunt lightning bugs.
--stay up late.
--sleep in.
--wake up. Go again.
