The soul is a curious thing

It is amazing to me how easy it is to get wrapped up in the pain of desire. How we as humans desire so much and suffer because of it. We desire people, we desire recognition, money, love, companionship, etc... All of them lead us to suffer because none of them are what fill us, but they are what we focus on.

It seems that part of that desire is waiting. Waiting for an e-mail from a love, a call from opportunity, a letter from something we think we need.

I don't have an answer to letting go of these desires, except to say the sooner you become un attached to them the sooner you can focus on where and what you are. The sooner you can enjoy life just as it is and just as it is not.
