Don't lose the passion

“It's better to get lost in the passion than to lose the passion”

                                                           Søren Kierkegaard

How much do we love the Sacred?

How much do we love the earth?

How much do we love our neighbor?

Our lover?

It is so easy to become careless

For life to become lost in the living

And love to be lost in the loving

We cannot lose our passion for the Sacred

We cannot lose our passion

For all good things

For when passion dies

We become those who seek what we have lost

In things that cannot give us what we seek

Money

Power

We seek them

We will do anything for wealth

Anything for power

But we end up

Lost

Pouting

Angry

Mean

Brutal

We have traded in life for a counterfeit

And no degree of power, no amount of wealth will work

We can even become President, and we will still be empty shells

For when our hearts harden

And passion for God, and others dies

We die too
