" Acceptance
Does Not Mean
To Condone. "

“ Do not spoil
what you have
by desiring
what you have
not;
remember that
what you now have
was once among
the things
you only hoped for.”

required by nature
is limited and is easy
to procure;

by vain ideals

What Is YOUR Desire?
How Will It Feel
To Achieve
Your Desire?
Explore
That Feeling.
Try It On.
Wear That Feeling
Like A Beloved
New Garment
Until The Feeling
Is The Way
You Feel.
Feel It;
Live It.
You Are Having
Your Desire
Or It Is Having
You-
Drawing To Itself
To You
More
Of The Desirable.
Others Will Desire
Your Presence.
Don't Worry
You Will Not
Be Diminished
By Sharing,
But Replenished.

ReplyDeleteGreat advice, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteBuddha said that suffering comes from desire or craving.
ReplyDeleteYou gave good advice, Cloudia. Tempering desire with reality makes for a happier person.

Exploring is my greatest desire! Stunning captures and perfectly fitting quotes!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your blog words make me think about where I am and where I'm headed.
ReplyDeleteI frequently do imagine living my dream life. In many ways I have it. In other ways I've still got far to go.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing common about that sweet little waxbill Cloudia :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bitty baby birds of paradise. Desires for the good adventures keep you dancing!

What a dear little bird that waxbill is. I have never heard of them before. I am assuming it is small by the way although I don't really have too much way of telling its size.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week!
Each of YOUr comments is so appreciated. Very much
ReplyDeleteWonderful contemplative post and photos are lovely ~ especially that beautiful bird ~ Happy Week to you ~ xoxo ~

Excellent thoughts and quotes.
ReplyDeleteDesires and dreams are so important yet often tricky and complex as we close in.
...makes me think a bit about Paul Simon's words...'you know the nearer the destination the more your slip sliding away.'
cute little bird
ReplyDeleteBeautifully expressed and wonderful quotes.
ReplyDelete"Wear that feeling like a beloved new garment" so much is about perception and identity, not the actual object or achievement but how we feel about it.
Wonderful shots and a great first quote.
ReplyDeleteHello Cloudia, what a beautiful little bird. Great advice and wonderful quotes. Enjoy your day and the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteIf more would adopt this envy greed and jealousy will cease to exist
ReplyDeleteThis is such a thoughtful, insightful post, Cloudia. I try not to desire too much since it doesn't bring me peace. I try to be grateful for what I am already blessed with. I try.
