Reflections: A futuristic approach to timeless wisdom

PASSION . . . The truth is, passion usually develops slowly and purposefully. Passion doesn't seek; it's a personal discovery byproduct of being proactive in pursuit of fulfillment in life. When considering the unique activities in life that affirm the person, it brings meaning to life. The Greeks didn't write obituaries, they only asked one question after a man died,"Did he live with passion?" And most assume passion is bombastic, comes-on like a flash, and is always emotionally over-whelming. However, psychological-studies have shown people from all walks of life tend to feel the most passion-intensity and passionate towards someone, different-things, someplace, or activities when they take their time. "The Nine Facets of Love" and the "Enneagram" are windows of the soul that asks more questions than are answered. The enneagram itself is a question, with nine pin-point locations inside an ever-evolving organic circle. So began my passionate quest to present the "nine facets of love" in a variety of "vignettes-in-life" to illustrate how our minds prompt our spirit to touch one's soul.
