“Many life experiences have a musical form, like endings that are not final or themes that return with variation.” ~thomas moore, author of SEAT OF THE SOUL

My my how time flies…and seems to stand still at the same time. David Byrne said it like this, “Same as it ever was.” And so it is, the struggle to get on with it – as if I had control of the timing of things.

I want… does it matter how I finish this sentence? Just the wanting itself is the the thing Inwant to talk about. I recognize, and this has been confirmed by experience, that wanting a thing like a car or a baby or a house, is of one level. And wanting to have an experience, like feeling completely understood or deeply loved, is the next level up. And then, pehaps wntibg to give up wanting may be the level after that. 

I justify the idea of LACK, by wanting. So what is the idea? Where do I go from here?
