Sage the Caregiver
Say the thing you actually need.
Tap one on the way down
A candle is for somebody else. A wish is for you.
It is the thing you would not say out loud at the dinner table, because saying it feels like complaining and you have already decided you are not allowed to complain.
One full night of sleep. For him to pick up the phone. For her to know my name on Thursday. For somebody to ask how I am and mean it. For one day where nothing goes wrong.
Nobody is going to grant it. That is not what a well is for. A well is for saying it somewhere other than the inside of your own head, and then letting it go in the water with everybody else's.
Your wish sinks in with the rest of them. You can put your name on it or you can stay out of it entirely.
A dollar a wish
So you know the difference
These do different jobs, and none of them replaces another.
For a thing you need. Not a person, a need. Say it and drop it in.
from $5For somebody on your heart. Her name, her Tuesday, or yours. It burns for seven days.
