Texture of longing
Our lives are bound together by many things we want. Love, happiness, success, comfort, money. Satisfaction …….the list could go on. But isnt the common factor the word “ want” “ Wants are the threads that carry us through our lives.” Wanting to fill our lungs with air is our body’s want without which we cannot live. Very often we feel the depth of our want but fail to recognise other’s desires. We often feel that others do not recognise our longing. Is it because we all long in such different ways ? Is it because the rules of fulfillment are so different for each of us, so natural yet so different? In the texture of longing, I explore a few paths that longing could take for each of us, using the metaphor of the 5 elements of nature. As you traverse with us on these paths, do turn the mirror inward if you feel like, and explore your own longing. Texture of my longing : Air I sweep, I flutter I float I float with my longing and spread Spread into hearts waiting for my touch T
