Measuring Your Passion
September 27th 2008 23:51
OK...now I will begin by conceding that in the new energy there is no way to "measure" our passion, feelings, etc but this piece, from "Would You Write on the Walls?"
By Marilyn Jeffers Walton, tweaked my curiosity;
Now anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about writing, but if I got locked in a cupboard the first thing I would do is look for ventilation so I could breathe.
In my other posts I have written about the importance of the conscious breathe. It is the message to every cell within us that we choose to live, that we remember that we are God also. It connects spirit and body, it connects us with our passions. But without passion for breathe then these other parts of us do not flow.
That I would not think of writing first and foremost was almost a relief. I am really kind of glad that my passion for breathing would kick in before I worried about where a pencil was. It has also shown me that while I am connected to my passion for writing, I am not owned by it.
Perhaps one day I might even farewell it for another passion.
And who the hell would want a second pencil before they wanted chocolate..lol

I have always believed there is a good test to see if someone has a true passion for writing. Lock that person in a closet, and if the first thing he or she thinks to do is start writing on the walls to record the event, the passion is there. Getting out would be secondary. A long stay would require not food, but a second pencil.
