Day 20: Desires and Remembering

Image by Jean Beaufort from PublicDomainPictures

When was the last time you wanted something? I mean, really deeply WANTED something? What was it that you wanted? Why did you desire it so intensely?

Take a few moments and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to ground yourself. Then allow your mind to focus on that time and place where you were desiring. See the object of your desire vividly. Notice the details of it. Use all of your senses to guide you. Was it something you wanted to taste? What did it smell like? What did it look like? Was it something you could hold in your hands? What did it feel like? Did you get what you wanted? What emotions did you experience in getting what you wanted or being denied? Jot down anything you can remember about the specifics of this moment of desire.
