I have finished the book, The Wishing Year.
I have to re-write two paragraphs here as she summarizes and concludes her year.
"Is there a transcendent dimension to our wishing? Is there indeed, some form of divine help out there?Perhaps that's something each of us must find out for ourself. For myself, I think of being lead from the tarnished gold of my sad dreams to the blazing silence of the golden temple and to the radiant presence of a forest monk who told me that if I truly wished to be free from my own deepest fear, then my wish would be granted. "
"I think of finding my way from the narrow straits of my worry mind to the dolphins shimmering below my navel. I think of the painting on the balcony as whales swam by, a phone rang and I heard the tired voice of the loving man who came to my door, in just the way I wished for. And when I think of these things, I say "YES".
So, many wishes came true for the author of this book, that it was really amazing. It was also amazing as to how we discount everyday wishes coming true. How we think more pragmatically and when this woman wrote very specifically what she wanted in a man and how she wanted him to come to her...she got everything she asked for, everything. It was also proof that the things she left off, were possibly areas she still needed to let come to the conscious level.
Great book! Highly recommend it!
