I’m thinking that my desires are the root of most of my problems…

I’m thinking that my desires are the root of most of my problems…
They feed this insatiable hunger inside…
They are a voice in my head everyday and every night that says more, more, more!
And never bring lasting peace, joy or happiness.

When I lay desire aside, there is an open doorway…
Inside are my family and friends…
My soft cushy bed and blanket…
A squeaky toy named badger…
It’s starting to sound a little bit like home.

So, what is important to you?
Let’s weigh your gold and your silver…
Are you letting desire make you focus on the wrong things?
Everyday our wealth needs to be sorted and counted…
Because it is infinitely blended with family, friends and hope.

Even without desire…

We will still have sorrow…
We will still have joy…
But did you know that sorrow and joy are two sides of the same coin?
Because if we never had sorrow, we would never have joy.

Material wealth is just a made-up slogan…
A big stinky pile of hullabaloo…
It is time to be who we are supposed to be and remember an eternal truth…
That home is just another term for heaven.

I love you,

Annie
