desire is a jumble of converging ideas, priorities, wants trumping needs--mess for me right now--much like how i see my existence. just holding court until . . .
Why, when I think of desire, does my mind goes right to sex and chocolate (not necessarily in that order) - especially when my needs are for exercise and leafy greens?
I think I am happier when my wants trump my needs : )
For me when you personify desire--I think of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.

ReplyDeleteYours is really fascinating! Love the colors and the symbolism.
I love that -- wants trumping needs. I'm wrestling with that tonight, wanting to unwind and feeling like I should catch up on stuff.
ReplyDeleteDon't I know.
DeleteI am exactly where Mel is. . .except my needs trumped my wants. Mostly. Except for right this second, when I wanted to read your blog. :)
ReplyDeletePleased for the second and the trumping working in reverse. :-)
