Lobster, or whatever you are, beneath the sea,

I like this story very much. I have heard it again and again, but
never as a Sufi story.

However, the real reason I respond to your post is that word "desire".

I woke up thinking about desire... thinking about how it is a
perpetual state, or seemingly so. How can this be?

Even when one doesn't think one desires... could it be that desire
exists?

If it weren't for desire, would we not simply cease?

What compels the next breath?

What compels the heart to beat?

What compels the earth to rotate? the sun to burn?

Another indication that desire exists... the lack of conclusions. No
endings. No resolutions.

I never eat the fruit. I never feel the nuclear blast. I never
consummate.

Curious, eh?

Nina
