		<description>@Donna, yes, I think I see what you mean. I suppose, it&#039;s good to be granted the need rather than the want. Sometimes our perspective isn&#039;t a clear place to proclaim an appropriate want.  A need however, is well...needed. Yes, desire is colored by lots of illusions..that change according to where we are @ any given time on our Path. ;)</description>

		<description>When we ask for things, 
I mean truly, truly ask 
and mean what we ask in all sincerity, 
when we yearn from the deepest place, 
without reservation or worry ...

... She hears and responds.

Problem is, I&#039;ve noticed, she gives us what we need as opposed to what we want.  

There&#039;s a fine line of desire there, you know?

		<description>&quot;Unbridled and wild&quot; -- oh-yeah :) Me too.  

As I&#039;m watchin&#039; him, I&#039;m thinking what an awesome outlet for his anger...oh, and how he really shouldn&#039;t hold back so much, lol ;)

Thing is, I believe we were meant to be &quot;unbridled,&quot; and yet we are so restrained... It&#039;s understandable and justified that we&#039;re angry.  At the same time, healing begins when we realize that we bridle ourselves, we hold the reins. We reign :)

Peace,
Dove</description>
