He is contentment!

It's strange how contentment can turn in to longing in a second. A memory brought back by a song or a photo, the sighting of something you want or just the realisation of something you don't have. In that second the life that previously felt satisfying and rewarding suddenly becomes empty and despondent. Why is this? How can perspective change so fast?

I have things I love that I don't have in my life, like a friend I know I can call anytime and know I can have a real chat with or a car I can get into and know I can just drive to anywhere. There are things I used to have or have experienced in the past that have gone and I miss, like long late night conversations with someone you feel completely open with or sitting round a campfire with an acoustic guitar.
I know I don't need these things because I'm happy not to have them when I don't think about them but when they come too mind they bring with them a longing.

I also have many thing I love that I do have in my life, I do have a good group of friends, I know have a band that I'm really excited about, I have music and most of all I have G-d. These things bring me joy and when I'm involved or thinking about them contentment, so alone they are enough to make me happy. I have G-d who no one can take away from me and as long as He is my focus I am happy. So when I feel a sadness for what I don't have or a longing I need only thing about what I do have, I need only think about G-d, this is all the contentment I need.
