We all want at times, sometimes less, sometimes more. There are probably places in Los Angeles that can give you the same kind of peace as Yosemite. Trees always do it for me, and water, I like water. I think you do to. Sending hugs.
To want incessantly, as Mary said, is quite specific with certain cultures. A Blog Friend who traveled to New Guinea once said one of the Tribal Elders there asked her why White People had so much Cargo? What he called it was humorous, because indeed, it can become weighty and so unnecessary to keep... yet we do. I know I have too much Cargo.
sending love to you and yoru family for the new year, elizabeth. i feel like we all are tissue thin, vulnerable. maybe because the barriers between us are so fragile now, we flow in and out of each other more easily, more deeply, with greater empathy.
Desire is an unending trap. There is never enough. It's our human failing, especially in our capitalist culture.
This is a poem, it pierces and, if we let it, heals. Love to you Elizabeth.
Gorgeous writing, as usual. Thanks.
So beautiful. So well said.

Perfectly said with great beauty and grace. What is it about white people and this constant need for more and more, this incessant wanting?
