Passion + Awareness = Compassion

Life without passion is empty.

Our longing, pain, temper, suffering, fear, anger

are there from the moment

we come out of the womb into the world

and have to start breathing.

How did we survive then while we were completely vulnerable and dependant

and how does this effect the way we live our life now?

Are we still in the victim role or did we use our awareness

and found that relief is in the paradox?

By becoming aware and giving attention to our longings and unfulfilled needs

in a creative way, we take our passion serious.

Instead of suppressing and denying it, we will find compassion is waiting for us.

Just when pain, sorrow, fear, anger and longing are burdening our lives,

we have the chance to discover and develop our compassion by loving, trusting and having faith.
