Your unmet longings are not a punishment.

Darling… your unmet longings are not a punishment.

Our unmet longings are many things. Divine delays. Dares. Beautiful karma. Eggs. Seedlings.

But… and…

Do not abandon your longings without understanding them.

(That could be my back up billboard to humanity.)

You know, I’ve been analyzing the nature of desire for a long time. And I’ve had deep struggles with monk-considerations, house holder life, Netflix and chillin’, loving hot love, abundance, the lonelies, the scriptures, the cleansing, the dancing, the down dogs, and all the training I’ve done to circumnavigate downward spirals.

But I’ve recently slipped out of whatever that portal was—let’s call it my former frame of consciousness. Just like a baby after a three-year labour. Like Neo getting ejected from his goo pod of illusion.
