DESIRE by Gina Paiano aka "G-Star Guitar"

"There are but two great tragedies in life...One is not getting what you want. The other, is getting it." - Oscar Wilde Desire is, after all, the cause of all suffering... Be it desire for pleasure or for pain to end ... to undo what has happened, or to design what is yet to be... to regain what is lost, or to lose what is unpleasant, unsightly or unsavory... A desire to have or have not, to do or undo, to remember or forget...is a desire, all the same. And as one desire, after the next, is realized... where is our repose? For how long (indeed - if at all), do we bask in the warm glow of a want fulfilled? Can we linger, if only for a moment, in the blessed stillness of here and now... that etherial niche between lack and pursuit... the wickedly elusive impetus of all endeavors, content? Or are we condemned to trudge ever-forward, enslaved by our whims and justified longings, harvesting and trampling each new rose in the very same step, until our greatest desire is to desire no more? And so, I wrestle with mine... And lo, I rarely win. -Gina Paiano Read more: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll#ixzz0qxLmSAfr
