Maybe the Journey isn't so much about becoming anything but unbecoming everything that isn't really you

Hope is really just desire in disguised, just desperation, aching, dressed up like a prayer. But while hope is elusive, desire is something I understand. I have wanted and wanted and wanted. I can't even begin to count all of the things I have wanted. To be. To have. To do. It's a familiar longing; it resides in my heart and body
