What I want in my world...

First, I want logic and reason and kindness and no trotting down the ramp to the sheep dip with nary a thought bouncing about in one's ganglia. Second, I want perfect weather and I plan to steal it from San Diego (without the smog from the cars on the freeways that pass through and by that area). Third, I want all my friends who are logical, reasonable, kind, charitable, forgiving and funny (and who don't mingle with sheep, well, except for Mistress Mary)to be there. Fourth, I want all foods that are scrumptious to have no trans fats, no calories, no carbs, no cholesterol. Fifth, I want exercise to be a four-letter word--I guess that would be "xrsz" and forbidden. Sixth, I want a big store where everything costs nothing and the best, most flattering fashions are available whenever. Seventh, I want beautiful meadows and mountains and lakes and rivers, the oceans and the seas, deserts and valleys, and I want them to remain pristene forever and available to everyone to enjoy. Eighth, I want mornings and evenings to begin and end with prayer, gatherings of friends and family, retellings of the day's events, sharing triumphs and joys and sorrows and disappointments. Ninth, I want beautiful music everywhere to uplift and motivate everyone to do their best. Tenth, and finally, I want to eliminate the need for debates, competitions, negotiations, awards, accolades of men, rules to keep us in our places (substitute instead our own consciences that will allow us to always make good choices for the betterment of all), skirmishes or wars--of words or of soldiers--and to focus on what is good and what brings us joy. Oh, and everyone gets a beautiful home just the right size for his or her needs. I think they call this place Heaven. I know I would.

Everyone is invited...well, except the icky people. They have to go to Ickyland where they will perpetually have itches all over their icky little bodies and there won't be any calamine lotion available. Thank you and good night!
