This is a meaningless journal entry at heart.
Tonight I was thinking about passion while I was out driving. I mean, I'd say I'm passionate about cooking. Or i feel passion towards a woman I'm in love with, or old Passion Plays, or extreme emotion.
I think sometimes I feel confused by a swell of emotion mixing around in me. I would say in general I feel passionate towards the universe. I'm looking for something that will sate a need within me for passion of some sort. Not necessarily lustful. I feel like I need to have and then express some strong emotion. I want something passionate, something reeling about within me so much that it takes over my brain and burns out my senses. I feel like passion would be a positive moment right now.
This is mostly strange because I more or less (depending on the moment) follow philosophic Taoism. I like harmony, and balance, and non- ado. Passion, in essence, is the opposite of this.
Maybe this will be more sensible when it is not 4am...

"poetry with me is not a PURPOSE, but a PASSION.." -EA Poe
to be passionate does not mean, that to have this thing or whatever is a goal in life...but it is the vehicle and the fuel that burns within you and drives you to and through whatever goals you have set for yourself.
Fuck balance, humans are the only creatures whose nature is not one of balance, otherwise we'd be living in bushes instead of cutting them down for houses.
we ARE the only ceatures on the planet that can truly be passionate about something. but then again, i may just be full of shit.
"never give yourself a reason to not continue...never give yourself and excuse for mediocrity and never, may i say never ever give up."
