%HAVE AND HOLD 760524
It is common to desire to have and to hold: lovers,
possessions, accomplishments. The desire is unfulfilled,
however, if the having is exclusive, or if the holding is
for too long. Fulfillment comes not in how much, how
exclusive, or how long we have and hold that which is dear
to us. Fulfillment is a dynamic process. Fulfillment
cannot be achieved and kept. Fulfillment is not something
which can be possessed and controlled, not something we
can have and hold. Creative urges must be channeled in
ways that acknowledge these facts of life, else their
energies become destructive.
