Passion
Bite-sized Wisdom: Diderot
From the man who introduced the concept of the “fourth wall,” allowing generation after generation to go ahead and break through it:
“To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster!
– Denis Diderot

Why Keep the Good Stuff All To Yourself?
Sustain the spark that you’ve kept dim,
Hidden by cupped hands in near prayer.
Candles are made to show light.
Clutching the embers to the chest
Sears the hands with selfish worry –
A burn touching more than the skin.
Instead set it out for others to see
With passion – your new lantern’s oil.

Heartstrings Tend to Know
Untangle the knots that hold your breath
Trapped tightly against your chest
Smooth out the line, too thin to be weighted,
Efforts to sever caught by its artful strength
Cast out the string, baited with care,
And wait with heightened senses
And once you feel the tug,
No matter how slight,
Follow.
