Passions of the Mind
Hello and welcome.
Today I will be discussing once more – the nature of passion. In the next post I will begin exploring each of the individual senses within our body (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell).
The thing is (sigh), passion is tightly interwoven with our senses. So intimately are they connected that you can’t discuss the one without at least understanding the other.
When I first wrote about passion, I discussed the passion of both the writer and the reader. Later on I referred to “symbols” and used the heart for example while relating to love and the desire for one another. But passion is so much more vast in its encompassing.
Our passions in life are really what move us to do what it is we do and I believe the power of passion is embedded within every single one of us! It only needs an opening to be released.
Being passionate is really about your thoughts and senses overflowing with the strongest of your emotions – IN ANY AREA OF YOUR LIFE on ANY SUBJECT!
There are those who feel great passion inside, but releasing it is a whole ‘nuther thing. Embedded passion needs a spark to be ignited. But there’s a trick here, I think.
You are the one that will allow your passions release. For some this comes so easily, it seems…for others it is a struggle to open up your senses fully – breathe life in with big huge gulps - and embrace all that amazing passion. Yours for the taking, just sitting there inside - waiting.
Passion is risky. You know that. There can be…consequences. But important things in life come with a risk. Living life itself is a risk, but we can’t grow if we don’t challenge ourselves. This is the very nature of the fabric of life and your choice as always…But one worth taking, I think. Right now would be a very good time for you to release your passions.
Passion’s Release
Come…
I am here, inside waiting
Release me
I can promise you emotions you have never felt
The depth of my promise is as deep as
the deepest ocean,
as high as the mightest mountain
as wide and full
as the canyons of dreams within your mind,
You will live as never before,
this I promise you
Release me,
I will give you all you desire and so much
more, yours for the taking
We will explore everything in life
and beyond
the reaches of time and space
infinity
I can do this, I promise
release me
I will set fire to your dreams
I will recreate ever wonder ever conceived
fashioned only for you
Come
Release me
I am your reward for daring to live and love
and dance and sing and laugh
Set me free
