Niggling

Have you found enjoyment from or through a thing, and known the niggling yearning for a step further that hovers yet out of reach. Of course.

Some well made music, the enclosure of sound and swelling of emotions... and an end. Repetition only yielding a slow retreat from the moment.

A film that resonates with your upbringing and beliefs, that piques your mind, perhaps in a way the only one nearby gets is you. The aftermath of inspiration, clarity of thought, hope. Turning in for sleep in resignation.

An escape outdoors, howling wind bringing a cocoon of silence in the mind. A bittersweet cold that chills unpleasantly but wonderfully invigorates. A locked away grove feeling of home. The eventuality of returning to human population.

Building, creating, manufacturing, curating, spinning into existence with care some portion to bring benefit. The knowledge of entropy in action regardless of whether you continue.

The simple endless pleasure of progression in an rpg, culminating in a slow depression at the peak of completion.

Insert your own experience.

And there is a truth unfolding before me in the word:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be obvious to everyone. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things. Whatever you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, put these things into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:4-9.

That niggling is replaced by peace. And peace, is only of God.

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. John 17:17.
