Wishcast Wednesday: What Does My Soft Animal Wish For?

"You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what you love."  That is so powerful.  I don't think I quite understood the wishcast until I read Jamie's vulnerability of desire & the poem by Mary Oliver.  What does the soft animal of my body wish for?  This is hard, because I think I've repressed it soo  much.  My soft animal wants the den, a lair that she resides in to be more glamorous.  She wants hard wood floors through out the house, and an art room to hibernate in.  She wants a kitchen with granite counters and large oven to create amazing dinners.  She wants to dwell in a house with beautiful well crafted furniture in the style of Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware.  She wants her nest egg to be full of money, so full, that there is never a question of can I afford this?  Is it in my budget?  It is painful to dig these desires up.  When does the wishing become a reality?  How do I take the steps to fulfill these yearning?  It seems like longing for something that seems so out of reach of my reality is futile.  But these are what my soft animal wishes for.
