Greetings Dear Reader,
Recently a in a conversation with someone I care for deeply
the subject of my needs came into the discussion. I have been thinking about my needs in the
quiet dark for some weeks since that conversation. I feel that an inventory of needs must start
with differentiating between what I want and what I need.
We have genuine needs.
I believe also that we turn unmet wants into needs. We also create needs through choices we make
that are unhealthy. In defining what my
genuine needs are I can further find ways to stay away from indulging wants as
needs.
There is another aspect of this into which I will venture
later in the journey. This part of the
journey is daunting. I will face things
that I see as needs and will have to discard as well. There are things that I have viewed as needs
that are more honestly deeply felt wants.
Some of them spring from genuine needs but they may not be the best path
to getting those needs met.
Your company and prayers would be welcome as I spend part of
the dog days in this crucible of refinement.
If I can excise the false needs and pursue the genuine ones in a healthy
way it will make me a better man.
I suppose like shedding actual weight it may also make the
journey home an easier exercise in the time remaining. I realize more each day how much I long for
home. I currently do not have a home but
I journey toward one that will meet all my needs and more. Walk with me Dear Reader. Your company is a genuine need.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
