for one thing I think there are circumstances in which one's desire may be not to have any control over some part of the universe, but the act of relinquishing control is a kind of control.
--That's beautiful and true.
And yes, to what you said earlier about the wish for the sun and everything else that the wish contains being a kind of magic. And, when you add in what you said about relinquishing control, you can see how it has something to do with that area of feelings, experiences, and thought that people call religion, too.
I think I can deal with Wittgenstein better in dialogue, like this. Thank you!
