In most of us there is very little passion. We may be lustful, we may be longing for something, we may be wanting to escape from something, and all this does give one a certain intensity. But unless we awaken and feel our way into this flame of passion without a cause, we shall not be able to understand that which we call sorrow. To understand something you must have passion, the intensity of complete attention. Where there is the passion for something, which produces contradiction, conflict, this pure flame of passion cannot be; and this pure flame of passion must exist in order to end sorrow, dissipate it completely. - Krishnamurti, The Book of Life

or desire and long for and move toward
a life worth living

and mediative entering into the world
as opposed to talking a good talk
speaking a poem
becoming the world within
as if we are not only afraid of the silence
or the quietude
but we lack the understanding of it

Re: greed
beautiful- and what perfect words in an imperfect world- nice,,


reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
Re: greed
dig it !....without the fire that often has nothing to do with income we are lost....treading water in a sea of distractions often perpetuated by pop culture....find your place on your own......add this and that from here...and there....touch your core
