"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." It's an English proverb, and at first the message seems to dismiss wishing, for wishing will get a person nowhere. Taking action is a far better way to achieve dreams. Often a nursery rhyme, this saying is used to teach children to take charge. However, when I thought about this a little longer, I found the proverb to be quite sweet. To me, it is human to wish and it is human to daydream. It is something we all do, and there is some sort of magic in simply hoping. Something I've been daydreaming about lately are horses, carousel horses that is, and it seems to me that if you wish for a while, (and take actions, of course) then wishes really can come true.
