Passions are the "to do", list of the soul, an ever present torch in the darkness, a persistent beckoning, the promise of escape, often buried beneath the cumbersome mass of the "to do", list of life. Passions are those things that we work toward, for the pure joy of doing, for the pure joy of being. Passions are the direct reply of the soul to the questions the heart the mind can not alone answer. Without our passions, we are less alive, we are less connected to our higher power, to ourselves, thus to others. Without passion, we are devoid of life and happiness. Everything is nothing... Nothing is everything...Give me nothing. Give me no law, give me no currency, nor shelter, nor clothes, nor entitlements, but save for one. Give me freedom.
There is no passion to be found in the day to day struggles of this life. There is no passion in survival.
Set me free to run naked in the fields, among the trees, grasses and flowers, set me free to bathe in streams and ponder the vastness of the sea without end, set me free to lay under the heavens and count the stars, set me free to sleep when I am sleepy, to eat when I am hungry and to hunt and cook over a fire of my making, with what I plant and grow. Set me free to be with with those I have brought forth and those who have made me and those who are like minded to be in community with me. Set me free to teach my children, set me free to pray to whomever I want, whenever I want without end. Set me free to have the time my creator gave to me alone to walk in this world.
Set me free.....
