Desirederata

I want to succeed. I do not want to succeed. I want to achieve high honor and respect. I want to be ignored. I want to have confidence and direction. I want to be honest about my total confusion. I want to ironically embrace the desperate suffering and hopelessness in life. I want to earnestly face the horrors of existence. I want to be loved. I want to be free. I want to carry great loads and help great numbers of people. I want to dissolve into the forest and ripple gently in the breeze. I want to learn the languages of the ocean. and the lands. I want to be silent surrounded by silence. I want to evade simple dichotomies. I want understanding. I want to write poetry. I want to be understood. I want to be in motion. I want to sleep. I want control. I want peace.
