Longings

Writers need to feel…We want to express our longing in its intensity. We need to write with a keen awareness of this longing, to know it better, for it is our greatest Self in seed form. What is the object of your longing? Every writer must find out an answer that will sustain, for not knowing your goal will stop your writing. ~John Lee, from Writing From the Body

Lee asks us to take a pen and paper and write the words “This Longing,” then list our longings. Here is my list. What are yours?
