We all have wants. Things we lust over, things we crave for, things we deem to possess. A material, a dream, an emotion. It's something that sparks interest in us; maybe intentional, maybe out of the blue. The excitement ticks like a bomb. In a fleeting moment, it may be over. Gone in a snap. Most of the time, it consumes us, alerting every nerve and joint, trying to find release. We say, I deserve this. We build up the momentum and widen our grasp to get it, achieve it. Sometimes, we halt, think it over, and accept defeat. But maybe, all we have to do is go with our gut and follow the course of the wind. And maybe, just maybe, a pot of gold awaits.
