i have this written down on a little piece of paper, that i'm obviously going to lose and wanted to write it somewhere more permanant before it disappeared!
"Desire is a teacher. When we confuse desiring with having or attaining something, we move away from ourselves, away from listening, flowing, feeling, creating, and into pushing, striving, teeth-gritting, forcing way of being...
Desire becomes a place to get to rather tahn a vital energy to feel, experience and ride. It is possible to be in a state in which desire is valued not as a prelude to possession, control, or merger, but as a mode to appreciation itself."
