Dear Roger,
To some it may seem a trivial question, but at least to me, it is full of meaning and possibilities. I think you have found the key to know not only what any person may have to share but more generally what exactly makes them tick. So no matter if I am only a dreamer, if I answer from the bottom of my heart, you will get all the answers about me, you will get to know me (or any one) to the core.
I love challenges, so I will try to answer in all sincerity.
If I had a magic wand, I would wish for all the money in the world. Not just for me of course but for my family, relatives and friends and all of the people I know, provided that they need financial help. Ultimately for all the poor and deprived in my country (you just don't imagine how poor the very poor in my country are) and all over the world. But not only people, also animals. I hate seeing the stray dogs in my city suffer from the cold rainy nights that we are having these days. I suffer with them whenever I expect the night to be windy, cold and rainy here (it is Winter now in my country). They have a sad look in their faces in the morning. All this may sound naif and little original, but is true. Of course, it would have to be a very powerful magic wand.
Being more realistic, I would like to own a house with a large garden. Just that, and not having any financial worries for the rest of my life on this Earth. It's over thirty years now since we had to move to a little apartment, and since we have three medium-size dogs, we need more space, a lot more space especially for them. I (we) really long for a nice house with a great garden; it would be still better if the gardens were two, one inside and the other at the front of the house. Here I would only need a moderately powerful wand; I don't know, maybe I already have one but don't know how to use it. Then I could maybe build a shelter for the strays and even help all the needy in my extended family of the destitute.
So there you have what I would do if I had a magic wand. I really want very little for me, just what I have said above. My needs are little, I am a sober man with very sober habits. My dogs, simple food and shelter, my computer and some books. Ah, perhaps a TV set. That is all I need.
Thank you,
Luis Miguel Goitizolo
