Passion blasts away the innocent picture we have of ourselves and reveals
a passionate, complex person hungry for life.

 

Passion reveals our lack of control over what matters most, and throws us
into a storm of unexpected vulnerability and vitality.

 

It teaches us to let go of the controls and give ourselves over to love.
People prove to themselves they are lovable by giving love, not gettinglove.

 

It prompts us to value the parts of the world that no one can explain.

 

It fires our imagination and expands our possibilities.
