'Having is not so great as wanting'....a quote from a TV show of a bygone era....

some may remember, some not...but the sentiment holds true...for some of us...

So precious those faint echos of our senses and memories of the longings...the aching pull of our hearts and our souls for....someone or something to fill the 'void' the need the terrible craving that was so bittersweet in our lonely moments....

Most especially in those quiet, dark hours when all the rest of the world seemed to be either asleep or far, far away...and we were an island of raw emotions...our pains telling us how incomplete we were...

and yet...we SAVORED the pain...the longings, the unrequited and unconsumated joinings with those who probably never knew we 'existed'...

because...for all the pains...the emptiness in our arms....we were still ALIVE...still FEELING and KNOWING what it was to FEEL AND WANT AND NEED and ACHE and LONG for....that Mystical, Magical, 'missing part' of our lives, our hearts and our souls....

but for the nonce....I will savor the 'scent' or any lilacs or other beauty and art I encounter....

For I shall not pass this way again...
