LONGING
The awakening of dissatisfaction, the awareness there's something more, the gap between what you have and what you might have. A glance at a woman or a man, and your mind begins to ache a little. New questions arise, new possibilities.
Stop right there. What do you make of this situation? Your reaction is crucial. Do you say: There's another (wo)man I can never have? Do you say: I'm going to act on this longing, find out where it leads? Or do you just hold the longing secretly in your heart, telling no one?
DESIRE
The longing, held close or let loose, catches on fire. It burns in your heart. It hollows out a hole in your mind. But again, no matter how strong, you can choose whether to act on it, or hold it close and cherish its strength, and discover how it feels.
PASSION
Fantasy about unleashing the kept desire.
THE TRICK
Is to live with all this longing, desire, and passion and not let it diminish your satisfaction and appreciation for what you do have in your life. To keep your fantasies full force, to nurture and enjoy them, not to dismiss or diminish them.
To FEEL them all the time.
This is the challenge and the delight of being an SG member. To revel in the longing, the desire, and the possibility of passion.
It is to be and live enchanted.

I realize there's no point in saying anything because the only person who would get it isn't here.
