the color of passion

Passion! 

Is the inspiration behind genius.

Passion!

Is  purity which Loves for it's own sake

Passion harbors gritty endurance 

That withstands the gale of withering opposition 

Passion is a nectar...

Which provides sustaining grace in the face of extreme odds. 

Passion is the gift of insight which perceives a reality obscured to the casual observer. 

Passion plays center stage in it's own  drama 

And dances to the beat of an unknown drummer

Passion manufactures it's own joy...

And nourishes it's own truth

Passion understands it's own unique sorrows

And endures to reap it's own peculiar Reward.

Unbelievably put Lola.  "Wow" doesn't even begin to articulate your communication skills through this medium.

Passion plays center stage in its own drama.  My how that one line resonates.  (Along with the whole very touching and "grabs you" poem.)

Passion is one of those things that can only be fully understood by those who have felt it.

Lola, the timing of this beautiful post in conjunction with Brad's about his discussion with Jeff Turner about following his passion makes me feel like I need to take a step back and do some serious thinking.  THANK YOU!

Hi Fran, Thanks for your comment.  I'm thankful that you enjoyed the post.  Sometimes, the words for a post just appear...that was the case here.  It's a wonderful experience to write when the words are a gift.

Brian...That is so true.  I've always inisisted the Provision is simply Vision being supplied by resources for it's fullfillment.  Somewhat like what you expressed about Passion.

Rosario...That is true.  It resides in all of us, but sometimes it becomes obscured because we fail to nourish and replenish it.

Diane...Brad's post was excellent.  It is a challenge to all of us.  Thanks for dropping by.
