beauty/desire

two words.

i have been dancing a trio

with them

for years now,

and

have only become

awake

in the last few weeks.

desire:

your desire is your prayer. picture the fulfillment of your desire now and feel its reality and you will experience the joy of the answered prayer.

-dr. joseph murphy

beauty:

nothing so affects the soul, so transports it, as moment of beauty-in nature, a face, a song, an action or dream. and we feel that these moments are therapeutic in the truest sense: make us aware of the soul and make us care for its value...
...aphrodite, the golden one, the smiling one, whose smile made the world pleasurable and lovely. she was more than an aesthetic joy: she was an epistemological necessity, for without her, all the other gods would remain hidden, like the abstractions of mathematics and theology, but never palpable realities...owing to her, the divine could be seen and heard, smelled, tasted and touched.

-the practice of beauty

and a third word suggests itself into this dialogue: deserve/ing.
