11:11 - The wishing hour.

I saw "The Princess and The Frog" today. Knowing me, I was drawn to the beautiful hand-drawn scenery, the larger than life characters and the intriguing plot, no matter how cliche it may be.

One important "character" in the movie was the evening star. You would make a wish on her as she shone brightly in the dark, midnight blue sky and somehow... she'd answer your call and all of your dreams would come true.

What if.... I could wish on a star? What would I wish for? Oh, the possibilities are endless. Limitless and never-ending.

I need not physical things. I am lucky enough to have a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my belly. Lucky enough to have certain types of luxuries that other people may not be able to afford, like gourmet meals for instance. Or even this computer that I'm typing on at this very moment.

Material goods are not what I'm searching for.

I yearn for so much more than that.

The question now is: Do wishes ever come true for those who wish hard enough or do enough for themselves to finally deserve that wish? Will the deserving ever get their happily ever after? Or are we all doomed to waste away our lives searching for something we may never have?
