Artwork Description

When I was a Very Young Girl... My MOTHER Often used to take the Time to READ all kinds of Stories to me from the SPECIAL Children's Books that SHE, Santa and the Easter Bunny GAVE to me When "They" came to "VISIT" Once A Year. "They" always left me DELIGHTFUL GIFTS that I KNEW were SPECIALLY HAND-MADE or SELECTED Just For Me. Because "They" LOVED me. Quite Often, "They" would leave me another WONDERFUL Book for My MOTHER to READ to me.

As My MOTHER READ to me from my PRECIOUS "Treasure Trove" of Story Books... She would always PAUSE to SHOW me the Thoughtful Illustrations "SEEDED" throughout each Story. Some of the Images were Incredibly BEAUTIFUL... Some were ENCHANTING or CHARMING... Some were WHIMSICAL... Some were FUNNY and made me LAUGH... Some were a little Scary. But it was Okay, because MOTHER was WITH me, and I KNEW She would PROTECT me from Anything Bad.

Those Stories and their Illustrations were both THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND "FOOD FOR THOUGHT". FED my IMAGINATION. ENCOURAGED me to THINK in Different "Directions". PRESENTED me with NEW CONCEPTS to PONDER... GAVE me "PORTALS" and "BRIDGES" to Other WORLDS that ALLOWED me to EXPLORE these Various "WONDERLANDS" from the SAFETY of My MOTHER'S COMFORTING PRESENCE.

Through those AMAZING Stories... I LEARNED many IMPORTANT LESSONS that have stayed with me my Whole LIFE. About the many kinds of CONSEQUENCES that CAN ARISE due to Our Actions, Attitudes, Deeds, Emotions, Motives, and THOUGHTS. Both INTENDED and Unanticipated. They TAUGHT me about the inherent TRANSCENDENTAL POWER of TRUE LOVE, POSITIVE THINKING, HAVING FAITH, TRUE MAGIC and "WISHCRAFT". Of the IMPORTANCE of BEING TRUE to Myself - No Matter What. The VALUE of SHOWING COMPASSION, GENEROSITY, KINDNESS, and RESPECT for Other LIVING "Things"... whether They BE HUMANS, Animals, Plants or "SOMETHING ELSE". The NECESSITY of BEING BRAVE and HAVING COURAGE when faced with Adversity, Challenges, Daunting or "Impossible" Tasks. The VALUE of ENDURANCE, PERSEVERANCE and VIGILANCE When DEALING with Evil in ALL It's many Clever, Cunning Disguises. TAUGHT me HOW TO SEE "Below the Surface of Things"... to DISCERN Hidden TRUTHS. But I digress...

Let us EXPLORE the Concept of "WISHFUL THINKING" and WHY It is IMPORTANT.

When We ARE YOUNG... We Often WISH for What We WANT. Some Times... Our WISHES COME TRUE. When Our WISHES ARE GRANTED... the Results CAN BE even more WONDERFUL than We THOUGHT POSSIBLE. OR CAUSES Us Unanticipated "Side Effects". ARE either IRONIC, Bittersweet, Some Times even Disastrous. Some Times... Our HEART-FELT WISHES don't COME TRUE and At First... We are Bitterly Disappointed. Only to DISCOVER over Time, that ACTUALLY... the FACT that This or That WISH didn't MANIFEST for Us was a "BLESSING-IN-DISGUISE". Hence the Saying "BE CAREFUL What You WISH FOR, because You might GET IT".

As We GROW Older... We Often ENCOUNTER People Who try to Discourage Us from PRACTISING "WISHFUL THINKING". Who try to TEACH Us that "WISHFUL THINKING" is a "Stupid Thing to DO", and "Won't/Can't Work". Who have a Tendency to THINK Less of Us, and to "Dismiss Us" as BEING Foolish, "Childish" and "Not Very Bright" because We still DARE to DREAM, DARE to WISH for Our HEART'S DESIRES and DARE TO WORK and STRIVE TOWARDS MAKING Our DREAMS and WISHES TO COME TRUE. They treat Us with Disrespect, Scorn and Ridicule to TRY to MAKE Us STOP DREAMING and WISHING for SOMETHING BETTER to COME INTO Our LIVES.

It is TRUE that Some WISHES ARE a Waste of Time, EMOTION and EFFORT... can NEVER POSSIBLY HAPPEN. Not in Your or My LIFETIME. Not in This WORLD. HOWEVER... it is also TRUE that Some WISHES CAN and DO HAPPEN. Just not always in the WAY, We may THINK They CAN or WILL MANIFEST.

My Point BEING... You will never KNOW FOR SURE, Until You OPEN Your MIND to ALL of the POSSIBILITIES of What CAN and CANNOT BE... and DARE TO APPLY Your WILL, DESIRE and FOCUS Your EFFORTS TO MANIFEST Your DREAMS, HOPES and WISHES. Just TRY to MAKE SURE that What You WISH FOR is TRULY WORTH HAVING.

ASK Yourself... CAN and WILL HAVING That Particular DREAM, HOPE or WISH COME TRUE ACTUALLY MAKE You HAPPY? ARE You CERTAIN? CAN and WILL HAVING That Particular DREAM, HOPE or WISH COME TRUE ACTUALLY IMPROVE the QUALITY OF Your LIFE? HOW?Just as IMPORTANT though... ASK Yourself IF That Particular DREAM, HOPE or WISH COMES TRUE FOR You... will INNOCENT People BE Hurt IN ANY WAY as a Result? Will ANY ANIMALS, PLANTS or Our PRECIOUS ENVIRONMENT that SUSTAINS ALL LIFE on this Planet BE Hurt or Damaged IN ANY WAY as a Result? IF the ANSWER IS YES... Then You should RECONSIDER What You ARE TRYING TO MANIFEST INTO This WORLD.

Just because We CAN MANIFEST Our DREAMS, HOPES and WISHES INTO This WORLD... doesn't mean We SHOULD. HAVING the POWER TO MAKE Our DREAMS, HOPES and WISHES COME TRUE IS A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. THIS TREMENDOUS POWER IS NOT TO BE USED Carelessly, Selfishly and Thoughtlessly. What We DO or "DO NOT" MAKES "RIPPLES" IN ALL Our LIVES, IN This WORLD, AND IN This REALITY. AFFECTS EVERY LIVING "THING" for "GOOD" or for "Bad". CAN HELP TO END Tremendous Pain and Suffering, OR... CAN BE the CAUSE of an Unimaginable Amount of Pain and Suffering. For EVERY LIVING "THING" that EXISTS Now AND for GENERATIONS TO COME.

So, Before You DECIDE TO "MAKE SOME WAVES"... I SUGGEST You ASK Yourself... "IF I MAKE This or That Particular DREAM, HOPE or WISH HAPPEN... WILL It HELP MAKE This WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE? WILL It HELP MAKE Our HUMAN SOCIETY TO BECOME MORE STABLE, MORE NURTURING, MORE HUMANE, TO FLOURISH, TO BE GREATER as a RESULT? WILL It HELP TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE the LIVES of Other LIVING "THINGS"? One Hundred Years from Now... DO You THINK MAKING Your Particular DREAM, HOPE or WISH COME TRUE, CAN or WILL MAKE A "SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE" IN This WORLD AND/OR IN HUMAN SOCIETY? FOR BETTER or FOR Worse??

"NOBLESSE OBLIGE" My FRIENDS... "NOBLESSE OBLIGE".
