Three Wishes

Sun Ra had three wishes for the Baroness when she inquired what his would be:  

  1. “A flexible instrument which could reflect every mood of any being, even a cat’s or a bird’s.”
  2. “A center where I would be free to present what I am actually doing to the world in the proper manner. Lights, shadows, colors, music would all be working at the same time, and it would be a synopsis of cosmic things so concentrated that, in an hour, you could be enlightened about the entire universe.”
  3. “The means to do things precisely, directly, and unhampered.”
