Desire aims at satisfaction, but behind this at a state, that is a kind of being which is its own, in which that satisfaction can be repeated endlessly - so that the endlessness becomes more important than the satisfaction - in short, your desire is to be, to have being, to be life. Without desire you are not at all, but things simply are in their original nakedness and fragility, filling only their allotted moment. This kind of time is open in all directions but delivers nothing - it is pure time.
