SHADOWS OF DESIRE: Reflections on human aspiration "I want this." "I need that." Each desire tints the hues of our minds. Some color themselves with shades of passion Others with tints of nobility Many with gold or silver & a few with ennui. Can we ever be free from color as lucent, transparent beings? Can we quiet our petty desires that blind us to a transcendent tapestry? ===================================================================================== from Heart Scenes: Emotional Landscapes via Art, Poetry, & Prose by T Newfields Summary: A photo of a shop in Tokyo and poem about desirelessness.
