You could if you wanted to.
There's so much power in those words. They mean many things, depending on when and where they are said. We can do anything if we set our minds to it, though....the spirit is willing, the flesh may be weak. We can if we want to...make ourselves better people, be more tolerant to each other, love more, laugh more, look to the stars more, and dream more. We can do many things if we want to. When those 'wants' become perceived needs, that's when we'll act.
We want so many things that our wants have lead many of us to bankruptcy, debt management, and worse. Yet, where will it end? Where will we take responsibilty for our 'want's and rein them in?
Sure, there are things that I want...it's a normal response. When we see something shiny, no matter if it's inside of a gourd, we want to grab it and never let it go.
This post doesn't remind me of what I want.

very rarely, people will ask me why i stopped making the art that i used to make, and i had to think about that very hard, but whati finally came up with was, why bother? if i can think it, it exists to me, and if it exists to me, isn't that what really counts? so, since no one around me seemed terribly concerned that i stopped, i started making art in my head instead of in the world. sometimes i miss seeing it outside my head, but if i wanted to, i could probably start again...i think. i'm mumbling now. so i'll shut up.
