Wishing on 11:11

You cannot make just one wish as you glimpse at 11:11 and be done with it, for then conflict arises if you happen to glance back before the next minute. To wish properly, you must wish as long and hard as you can. Stare at the clock, the corner of your screen,  your phone, iPod, wherever you find the time, and wish. Sixty seconds is not a long time. So spend it all as heavily as you can, take the excuse of the numbers to wish, just for sixty seconds. Channel every nagging wish, every longing, everything you want into those sixty seconds. Whisper it out loud, if only just to yourself. Let yourself get crazy near the end, let simple wishes bloom out of proportion. And of course, the 1's look like candles. Blow them out.
