Longing, a collection of works by Meghan Kate Anderson, 
Summer/Fall 2002

I see longing everywhere. Next to the joy . . . 
Underneath the fear . . . 
Beside expressions of love . . . 
Between outbursts of pain. 
I see it inside each and every soul.

In my work, I reference my own yearnings inspired by 
the people around me, the dreams that I have, 
the lessons I’m learning.

We may all seek to manifest different versions of 
success and of freedom and of love, 
but each of us desires it, needs it, 
even longs for it.
