Whole Desire

How can we want something with our entire being--so completely, so wholey--when we are just a pile of flesh and bones? It's just our brain or our heart or.....but whether it's an idea or a cause or a person--or even just a simple moment of a beautiful sunrise with a steaming mug of coffee in our hands--that thing we desire fills us up, and we can think and feel and hear and taste and touch nothing else. Whether or not we get what we so desire is irrelevant; the capability to feel that way is just remarkable.
