Things wanted and things obtained are seldom similar.
That which we desire rides a separate wave,
From that we are able to posses.

Possession is nine tenths of the law.
The law of nature possesses all possibilities.
We posses a wish to learn.
We must learn that we cannot posses all we wish for.

The haves and the have-nots.
We have our sights aimed high.
We have not the aim to capture all that’s in our sights.

A dream is a wish pursued.
A wish is a desire expressed.
Desire is the motive used.
Our motive is a dream possessed.

If we possessed all that we sought.
Would we really be happy?
Can we really be satisfied?
Might it actually be enough?

The desire to posses a dream is in itself a possession.
We desire a desire to desire.
So arrives the question.

Once we posses all that we desire in life,
Is life complete?

Can life ever be complete?

Outstanding!

I just loved it! I love the

way you see things and how

you deal with all lifes

questions, thoughts and

emotions. I loved this bit

A dream is a wish pursued.

A wish is a desire expressed.

Desire is the motive used.

Our motive is a dream possessed.

Fantastic!
