Quick thought exercise: My Impossible Bucket List

An impossible bucket list is a list of things you would really like to do or experience but it is literally not possible. Listed below in no particular order.

1. I would like to jump on the clouds. This desire grips me every single time I take a flight in the first half of the day. The clouds look firm, but like they have just enough give. I imagine that I am also surrounded by the mist of the cloud, but it is cooling without being wet. I imagine a ground that is perfectly supportive to my back and one that is not possible to twist an ankle on.
2. I would like to burst into cartwheels on a whim.
3. I would like to enable long term physical activity for a large number of young women.
4. I would like to be able to create and shape material. In the service of - I would like to wear some outlandish and insane silhouettes, but I will not buy them because they wouldn’t be able to be used more than once.
5. I would like to exist in the water. It is a place of so much calm and quiet joy. I don’t mean exist on the surface - I want to walk on the beds of the ocean, several tens of meters deep. I want to feel the sand between my toes and observe schools of fish above me, and walk to a continental shelf and not be afraid. I want to jump off instead, and slowly float down.
