PASSION

PASSION

To love something

for itself, to love it,

to do it, like a

dear, dear thing.

To feel an unbearable,

incommunicable pride

in oneself that one holds it,

possesses it, is it.

To feel that exultant security

that you’ll always have it

and that it is yours & can’t

be taken away by anybody.

To affect others with the

same thing, to be

excited all the time.

To feel and love life as a

great blessing and a

great benevolence.

To love because one is

free and can give so much.

A thrilling discovery around

every corner, a learning that

goes on and on and on,

a surprise at every turn.

Life lived with a passion is life.

A substitute is unthinkable

and after sometime unknowable,

the innocence – complete – of man.
