In this post, I used "passion" as a euphemism for the high emotional content in our current political debate in the US. I agree, though, that inner passion requires an opening up of the self. I've heard of this crystal freezing experiment, and it is mind boggling to think words and thoughts have so much power. Hi, Ari –

I enjoyed it. A couple of thoughts. On your opening remark about passion and fear -- where there is passion, there also tends to be fear, as we can get deeply hurt when what we are passionate about does not come to fruition. They are like two sides of a coin, sometimes -- you get one and the other comes with it. To be passionate is a risk. It's all the more reason to be kind and support those who are passionate. Secondly, your fable reminds me of the water crystal experiment, where they expose water to various emotions and freeze it, and the resulting crystals forming differently. http://www.whatthebleep.com/crystals/ ari That was a nice little nugget.

Thank you for your kind words! I like the way you put it "hozho" -- I guess it is translated sometimes as "walking beauty" -- into perspective with how you give to others. I have seen people with more light within themselves spark a room with smiles, help heal a broken heart, or give in kind ways that keep on giving. I don't know if you know this or not, but your posts and comments have a way of doing this, too. Hi, Urban Panther –
