My blog...

Sun, 11 Jul 2004

It's a bit soon to draw conclusions about what people are wishing for; but some themes are emerging.
Some people come to an immediate decision about their wishes - if they do, they tend to assume that everyone will the same as themselves - money, health, home and happiness. Some people try to be smart and make their first wish limitless wishes. This is fine, but actually doesn't really move anything forward - and you can have as many wishes as you like anyway. Once people start to think about their wishes then it becomes more of a challenge - they often need some time to think deeply about what really matters to them - and are not distracted by their first thoughts. Children seem to find wishing a natural thing to do - and do it all the time - lots of sparkly things wished for by younger people. Quite a few adults seem to think that wishing is something they can't do - I'm not sure why this is and will be intrigued to find out at what age/stage people assume that wishing is something they have to give up. Anyway these are just the first thoughts - send me more wishes and I'll be able to think about it some more

Friday and Saturday and I've started in Salisbury. Talked to a few people, handed out some postcards, received a few wishes and hoping for lots more.
Am trying to master the software for the blog which I think may take a while, so sorry if it all looks a little odd to start with.
