Desire and Pleasure
Posted in Articles on 01/24/2010 01:52 pm by ShaziaDesire is the energy and passion towards that which we imagine will make us feel good.
Pleasure is the spontaneous response to that which reminds us, connects us, and binds us to something greater than us.
It is therefore entirely possible to have pleasure without desire.
And desire without pleasure.
The fulfillment of a desire is not the definition of pleasure.
Pleasure happens in the absence of willfulness
Pleasure is in the appreciation of Creation – its details, possibilities, expansiveness…
I desire pleasure deep within my soul
I desire meaning to make sense of it all
I desire growth, change and evolution
That which is in me that fails to see Perfection
That is my demon, my monster, my darkness
Be gentle with your monster
For it knows not the Truth
Be courageous and fight him even when he breathes fire
Show him that you trust even though you doubt
And surrender all matters to That which Prevails.
Desire and Pleasure
