Does Not Mean
To Condone. "

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

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.

Beautiful!
Great advice, Cloudia!
Buddha said that suffering comes from desire or craving.
You gave good advice, Cloudia. Tempering desire with reality makes for a happier person.

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

I do enjoy your daily dose Cloudia, it always makes such sense.
Nice use of shadow and light in these shots. The bird's adorable.

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.
Have a lovely week!
Each of YOUr comments is so appreciated. Very much
Wonderful contemplative post and photos are lovely ~ especially that beautiful bird ~ Happy Week to you ~ xoxo ~

Excellent thoughts and quotes.
Desires 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
Beautifully expressed and wonderful quotes.
"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.
Hello Cloudia, what a beautiful little bird. Great advice and wonderful quotes. Enjoy your day and the week ahead!
If more would adopt this envy greed and jealousy will cease to exist
This 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.
