Please keep your longings in a safe place at all times.
I have been thinking about that line since I read it yesterday. As my mother likes to say to me, “Lisa Ann, you think too much”. With my momma, it’s always Lisa Ann, not just Lisa. She lengthens my name, and a few people in my life shorten it. To them, I’m Lis (sounds like lease) or Lise. I like that.
My point here is this: is there a safe place to keep your longings, your wants, your desires? And better yet, should you? A lot of Buddhist teachings talk about being free from want, but I don’t know how I feel about that. I’m not talking about wanting physical things, things that money can buy.
