Roy,
It occurred to me the other day when I was feeling just a tad hungry to just stop a moment and consider that maybe (just maybe!) there's nothing wrong with that feeling. You know -feeling empty and wanting. Maybe, I considered, that's been what's been messing me up for so long: to think that every single time that I feel empty or wanting or a little hungry or a little lacking to just relax and let it be because...there is nothing wrong with that. If fact, maybe it's a God given good state to be in -especially if we just accept it.
I agree mate. There is nothing wrong with being a little hungry in its myriad forms. I think this is what keeps talented and creative people going. It is not so much the want to succeed but the hunger to create. I know I could never stop because the hunger, the urge is always there, propelling me to write the next phrase, sing the next line or play the next bar.
Heh, the center of the circle! Maybe that's what Heaven is Maso? But before we get there we just gotta learn to love the edge.
If there is such a thing as heaven, I think it would be so far from the centre as to be completely off the board. Maybe this is why so many of those who choose to live 'on the edge' seem so much more at peace with the world and with who they are. Who knows? I certainly don't.
