Longing......
Longing for what we don't have....
Longing for a life we wish we had.....
Longing to fill an emptiness in the soul....
Longing for happiness....for peace of mind....for solace....for love.....
Longing for something we conceive as unreachable, unattainable, unrealistic....
When does that longing become complacency....
When do we lose the hunger to keep reaching, keep climbing, keep growing....
When do we let that longing become disappointment, regret, hopelessness....
We long for a purpose but do we waste away the days....
We long for happiness but do we continue to indulge in our self pity...
We long for the new but do we settle for the old...
We long for a life that seemed to have slipped out of our grasp but do we stop living....
Do we continue to long for a new life but just continue to exist....
Do we continue to look for change but neglect to take the first few steps required.
Do we continue to be unhappy without looking for the the glimmer, the hope......
Do we continue to long in regret or long in the wonder of life......
Long......
Long for Love.....
Long for Life.....
Long for Hope.......
Long for that Moment.......
Longing.....
Acting......
Succeeding.....
Living.....
Choices.......
Choices......
Sometimes circumstances.....
But Still Choices.....
We only have One Life......
One Life.......
Longing.......
Living.....
Choices

This was very profound, my friend! "Longing"
is not the most desired
state to be in... & yet,
most of us have longed for something in our lives. Perhaps
we, the lot of us, comprise a chronically dissatisfied
species.
Maybe, it's best to long for
something internal, something that the world doesn't grant us freely.
Yes, methinks, the best thing to long for & to covet most is Peace.
SJ!
One.
Amen to that my friend.....
