Having Your Desire

A   L   O   H   A !

" Acceptance

Does Not Mean

To Condone. "

                  Eckhart Tolle 

“ 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.” 

                          Epicurus

Common Waxbill Estrilda astrild

“ The wealth 

required by nature 

is limited and is easy 

to procure; 

but the wealth required 

by vain ideals 

extends to infinity.” 

             Epicurus

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.

whether hideous, or
 handsome, depends
 upon who is made 
judge. "
                           Herman Melville

 Thriving Modern Metropolis to Casual Eyes

" The cost of a thing
 is the amount of 
what I call life 
which is required to be 
exchanged for it, 
immediately 
or in the long run. "

                             Henry David Thoreau

 Old Flavors Remain-Beloved Lai Fong

“ By its nature,

the metropolis provides

 what otherwise could be 

given only by

 traveling;

 namely, the strange.”
