Longing

---

Grief is the opposite of longing.

Grief is a halfway house between possession and addiction; longing a safehouse for both passion and aggression.

Both longing and grief have a lick of anxiety to them, but they are not on the spectrum of hope and despair.

Life is short, art is longed.
