Passion Positive
December 12, 2009
People are beginning to use the label ‘sex positive’ and I use it as well, but I only use it because I am first ‘passion positive’, a label no one uses. Labels, symbols, words, arrows, the pointings toward the thing we mean, they only work when others understand them. Of course, this is the problem with neologisms.
But I believe in the power and positivity of people’s passion. I believe they are a direct link to our soul, they are part of the fire that makes us alive, and if we listen to them closely I believe they can help us discover and understand purpose in our lives. When I fell in love with my wife, it was the first time in my life I felt truly passionate about something, and I began to order my life accordingly.
And suddenly it was easy to accept others who were following their passions. Where I was socially and politically conservative I became suddenly quite liberal, because while I believe we need some restrictions to help people not injure each other, I also believe all people should have the freedom to follow their passions, their dreams, their souls. May everyone finds theirs as I found mine.

[...] I am beginning to realize that in so many ways I miss the power and fullness of the compact experience by needless differentiation. I wrote this –about her fire– a full three and half weeks before I had my ‘fire epiphany‘, an epiphany that in retrospect seems more like a mere moment of clarity in a sea of obtusity. No less here it is, thankfully here and simple: it is my passion and desire to feel her passion, her fire, that essential part of her that makes her alive and who she is. [...]
