Learning How to Fly

My brother believes I have a superpower- manifestation. What I imagine, I can create.

I have a pretty impressive imagination- I can't actually manifest everything. I tried to. When I was a kid, I tried every time I had an opportunity to make a wish. I concentrated all my energy on it. I would grow wings. I would fly. I WOULD. I flexed my back, my shoulders, my scapula shifting, rippling under my skin. I felt a twinge between my shoulder blades. Any day now, any day...

Wings are what you make of them. Flying can be many things.

I told this story to a dreamy deckhand, sailing South to Mexico.

"I guess you can't always have what you wish for."

She smiled at me and looked around; at the billowing sails, the shining sea, our boat, skimming across the water. "It came true."

Be careful what you wish for. Especially if you happen to be a manifestor.

Everyone is a manifestor.
