The Beauty of Yearning, Hunger, Darkness, ... Yearning and longing are what gives birth to true desire. Hunger brings much greater vivacity than being satiated. Darkness before the first hint of dawn brings anticipation. Silence causes the ears to listen more astutely. Lack of a scent causes the hound to seek more earnestly. Free floating divers' hands feel a greater temptation to touch. Distance awakens a longing to move. Not knowing is fertile ground for a curiosity and learning. Bland food creates a craving for spices. Wishes and wants give birth to hope. Aspiration is what leads to growth. Abstinence generates a craving for passion. Anticipation makes us giddy. Fear pumps up adrenaline. Near death experiences make us feel very much alive. Mystery makes us eager for discovery. Dreary gray tones produce a wish for color. The aching back welcomes a massage more than a relaxed one. The illusive prey brings out true hunter instinct. Staying at home rouses the desire to travel. Being abroad can see one pining for home. Closeness can generate a need for space. Space can bring people together. Monotony can become the mother of restlessness. Constant change increases the appeal of stability. Routine spawns invention. Broken shards and bones form stronger bonds when mended. Chaos inspires us to seek some semblance of order. Treasure not only light, but darkness for it too holds rewards for those open to receive.
