I have just discovered the poems of Mary Oliver.
Fantastic. Open. Honest. She has a way with words that is not abstract or weird. A simplicity I really enjoy.
Take a look at her poem called "What I Have Learned So Far".
Basically, if you are passionate about something, and do nothing to "labour in it's cause" then what. I'll tell you what. Then you are not really passionate about it.
So stop and think about it for a moment. Is there anything you are passionate about? Or say you are passionate about? And yet you don't stick your neck out for it.
The last sentence of the poem strikes the chord!
"Be ignited or be gone"
Fantastic isn't it!
