"Ambition does not stop when we acquire what we first desire," Julia Alvarez.
Reading, Saving the World, by Julia Alvarez for a book club I am attend. I like her writing. It seems, like Shakespeare, to combine beautiful language with insight into human nature. The above quote reminds of me some current spiritual practices which suggest that as humans we expand as we appreciate what we have while wanting even better. There seems nothing wrong with wanting things to be better, as long as we appreciate what we have now. Last night we went to a play, very funny. It was good to see Dwane laugh and laugh. Laughter is so good for the body, mind and spirit.
