Longings

I want a dark handsome man to whisper in my ear.
While he nibbles it.
Preferably in Italian, or Portuguese.

I want to take a year's sabbatical to lose weight, catch up on my
sleep, and nurture my inner child-witch.

I want to see Ireland in the summer, while I'm still young enough to
truly savor it. I want to dye my hair fiery red before I go, so that I
can walk around without makeup and tourists will assume I'm a native.

I want to feel self-sufficent again, and secure in my own ability to
support myself.

I want a place where I feel "at home".

I want to spend a month at the beach with my little sister, during
hurricane season. I want to drag home wagons full of conches and whelks,
and stay up at night to watch the turtles come in to nest.

I want to feel connected with my God again.

I want to stop wanting a mate, so that I can get on with my life.
