Yawning, gaping, maw always open wide I want, I want. I want! I WANT! Never satisfied Willful, prideful image only seeing self I must, I must. I must! I MUST! Amass, acquire, wealth Childish, introspection Looking now within I need, I need. I need! I NEED! I need this precious thing.

*smile* well, having a little boy, i hear the "i want i need" thing all the time...but to hear adults do it is far more irratating! (ok, i'll admit, im a closet shopper...shh..dont tell...) but im no where near as bad as some people... im glad to see someone writing about this issue. ~Dawn "Steady as it comes, right down to you, I've said it all, so maybe we're a Bliss of another kind" Bliss-Tori Amos |

Thank you so much Dawn. A little retail therapy anyone? Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Kethry, I find it strange that I have so much junk in my bed room when all I want really are my books and cds. really enjoyed the poem. "I concede relationships have left me weak Won't be here so I don't care Look for something worthy to replace my guilt" Mansun legacy |

Me too Brian, and sometimes not even my CD's. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Keth, this is brilliant! Why are we like that? We need so little really, just love and a bit more. Perhaps we want to replace that void in our soul with things, money. Perhaps we think that *things* will make us more loveable. There is so much truth in the statement that never mind how much you have, you will never be satisfied. We mistake spiritual need for material need, I suppose ... Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

Lotharingia, the answer is I don't know, but thanks for posing the questions. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
