Wishes

Today I asked God how he feels about people wishing on stars. He told me that he kind of likes it. He says it’s really just another form of prayer, and has the advantage of not just being rote repetition of something someone wrote a few centuries ago. It’s a way of staying in touch with God both as a deity and as the embodiment of nature and it has a personal touch that he really likes. It says something about the person making the wish that normal prayers don’t really give him.

So I asked if he ever answered them, if he ever granted any wishes.

He said he prefers to let the universe play itself out according to the rules he’s set up.

Then he added, that he’s not immune to every once in awhile putting his thumb on one side of the scales of justice, but that he’d deny ever telling me that.

Sometimes there’s a playful side to God that I really like.
