A Question of Desire

Wow. It seems as though I was just here, having a glass of wine and lusting heartily over a car. A few hours of sleep and here I am again but this time it is with a cup of Cafe au Lait.
Sleep has dulled the impulsive desire for becoming a hybrid owner, yet the idea remains at the back of my mind. Darn that car and its instant hypnosis. Yet, there is a pile of bills, office overhead and general life dues that take my priority. Yuck. As my nephew would say, “that’s mature of you.” He might be correct.
So here’s today’s question of note - have you ever been mesmerized by an object (or any noun will do) and if so what and what were the effects it had on you? I am not just talking about a whim of fancy or peer pressure. I am talking about something that you beheld, time stoped, and all that existed was that object. It holds you captivated. Do tell.

Since visiting here a few hours ago, I haven’t been able to shake out of my mind the question that you ask here. So much so that it has lit the ol’ fire and I’m off to write a post about a similar topic.
That topic, I think, will be unconditional love. How I got there is simple. The things that draw me so much into having them at all costs are things I use to create to share. It’s out of my hands, really! I have a guitar that was way out of my means that I had to have the minute I laid eyes on it. I played that guitar for many years and touched many lives with it. The latest had-to-have is my camera which has opened up giving in many new ways for me. Some are published in the newspaper, a lot are on my blogs, and a lot are freely given to the people in the shots.
I literally feel nothing when shopping, but when I run into something that allows me to create and give what I create, it overwhelms my every thought, and know that I am supposed to get it so that I can give.

That’s beautiful. I love to non-selfish element in your answer! Thanks for sharing.
