desires break constantly
longings cracks persistently
and countless dreams keep spilling around.”

Rasheed Ogunlaru
“There are two powerful fuels, two forces; motivation and inspiration. To be motivated you need to know what your motives are. Over time - and to sustain you through it - your motivation must become an inner energy; a 'motor' driving you forward, passionately, purposefully, wisely and compassionately... come what may, every day. Inspiration is an outer - worldly - energy that you breathe and draw in. It may come from many places, faces, spaces and stages - right across the ages. It is where nature, spirit, science, mind and time meet, dance, play and speak. It keeps you outward facing and life embracing. But you must be open-minded and open-hearted to first let it in and then let it out again. Together - blended, combined and re-entwined - motivation and inspiration bring connectivity, productivity, creativity and boundless possibilities that is not just 'self' serving but enriching to all humanity and societies...just as it should be.”
Rasheed Ogunlaru

“He gazed into eyes the color of a summer morning sky and sighed. It felt as if his soul had just come home.”
Grace Willows, Into My Heart

“Civilization could not exist without tremors of desire and without the counteracting, negation force of disciplined denial. Nor would the gyratory pulsations of a lively civilization exist devoid of the convulsive chemistry of union and repellency. We are born with a desire to be immortal. Cursed with the knowledge that we must die, people live their orthodox lives out by displaying reckless abandon as to the outcome of human life or nervously hounded by utter despondency nipping their heels. How we resolve this decidedly human complex of carrying out our daily lives while burden by our inescapable mortality determines our essential character. The collation of similar values adopted by our community determines who we are as a people.”
Kilroy J. Oldster

“. She was beautiful, and her temperament seemed much better than his first wife did. Arman stopped in the middle of the Windsor knot on his tie. Who was he trying to kid, he thought. An enraged rabid pit bull in heat would have had a better temperament then his first wife.”
Grace Willows

Lindsey Rietzsch
“When righteous desires back up your motivation, you'll find that your inner gas tank will always have fuel to spare. Brick walls cannot stand in your way, detours cannot get you off track, and road construction will not make you turn around and head back. Your strength will surprise you, and whatever it is that your heart desires will eventually be accomplished.”
Lindsey Rietzsch, Successful Failures: Recognizing the Divine Role That Opposition Plays in Life's Quest for Success

John Shelton Jones
“Sometimes it’s typical to think you found what you desire, but then the opposition can happen, causing reevaluation on your options. Conversely, when you find beauty in something that holds treasures, you may have found beauty to your heart’s desire that harvest love or pain through it. The harvest is inevitable, but your senses redirect for proper discernment and perception.”
John Shelton Jones, Awakening Kings and Princes Volume I

Heather O'Neill
“That was desire messing with physics: putting its finger on the record and then slowing it down, making sure you heard every word spoken, and memorized it.”
Heather O'Neill, The Lonely Hearts Hotel

Perry Brass
“If you are what you eat, then why aren’t you what you desire?"
Desire stands in the great no-man’s land of human activity: the zone of most conflict, fear, and anxiety. It scares us. We are often asked to hate it—by those who claim to have given it up for “better” things, and who often, hypocritically, haven’t.”
Perry Brass

“The fragrance of your burning lips are endless reservoir of love.”
Dr. Tony Beizaee

“One of my favorite Scriptures is Psalm 37:4: 'Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.' ...I take it to mean that He will plant within you the desires He designed you to have. As we delight in Him, He shapes the desires of our hearts, the very desires and dreams that He put there in the first place.”
Sandi Patti, The Voice: Listening to God’s Voice and Finding Your Own

Paramahansa Yogananda
“The karmic law requires that every human wish find ultimate fulfillment. Nonspiritual desires are thus the chain that binds man to the reincarnational wheel.”
Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

Paramahansa Yogananda
“[Desires as seen on 3 planes of existence: Physical, Astral & Causal]

Physical desires are rooted in egotism and sense pleasures. The compulsion or temptation of sensory experience is more powerful than the desire-force connected with astral attachments or causal perceptions.

Astral desires center around enjoyment in terms of vibration. Astral beings enjoy teh ethereal music of the spheres and are entranced by the sight of all creation as exhaustless expressions of changing light. The astral beings also smell, taste and touch light. Astral desires ar thus connected with an astral being's power to precipitate all objects and experiences as forms of light or as condensed thoughts or dreams.

Causal desires are fulfilled by perception only. The nearly-free beings who re encased only in teh causal body see the whole universe as realizations of the dream-idaes of God; they can materialize anything and everything in sheer thought. Causal beings therefore consider the enjoyment of physical sensations or astral delights as gross and suffocating to the soul's fine sensibilities. Causal beings work out their desires by materializing them instantly.

“Proof of desire is prioritization”

Giannina Braschi
“Technology came with the promise, I’ll liberate you from the chains of work. Instead, it enchained you to the shackles of need and want. I don’t need. I desire. Desire is a liberation from need. Desire opens its wings to the plenty of possibilities arising for all of us, in the air, in the water, in the sun. Desire makes us strong. Need is weak and meek and coughs and can’t make it by itself alone.”
Giannina Braschi, Putinoika
