P is for Passion

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security.  ~ Albert Einstein

Billy Collins' Litany recited by 3 year old
Cut and paste so that I don't lose the things that grab my attention in the early morning hour of my day
"Delicate negotiation between the clear and the mysterious"
Elegiac : expressing sorrow often for something now past
Fierce and Firmly
Grounded in the everyday

Inspired by Dr. G's share of this video

 Litany begins:"You are the bread and the knife/ The crystal goblet and the wine..." ~ Jacques Crickillon

Nine Horses: Poems by Billy Collins

Passion for Life

The path in your life,
may never be straight.
Contain bumps and curves,
where many are great.

Your personal experiences,
have shaped who you are.
Embrace your mistakes,
and each unique scar.

There's always new things,
in life we may learn.
With every page,
and chapter we turn.

There's just one simple,
but very important rule.
Your passion for life,
should be used as your fuel.

"At night I dream that you and I are two plants that grew together, roots entwined, 
and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth, since we are made of earth and rain." 

- Pablo Neruda
