Desire

 
Desire rules lives. 
Too many desires consumes lives.
Too few desires can disintegrate a life.

In that moment when you are begging for your desires consider this:

Is this desire only to conform with the delusions of cultural conformity?
Can I be satisfied with what is now in this moment?
What is is.
Acceptance or hatred of it is changes it nothing.

The picture is of a high bush cranberry.  It has beautiful large flower clusters in the spring, red and amber foliage in the fall and pretty red berries all winter.  Peace
