- To be safe and to have her family safe.
- To tie up and fold and categorize and otherwise organize the ideas floating around in her head that, when she ponders or at least manages pluck a single for inspection it does not dissolve like a snowflake in her hand.
- For a door. Not one that locks up and keeps her and her family safe, but one that opens to a new, rommier, well-decorated space.
- A child who loves her and who at least wants to be behave but can’t beause they have their own swirling ideas and pluckings to do.
- Love for humanity. A big word–no, Two Big Words: Love. Humanity.
