If desire is our driving force, then passion is its volume turned on and tuned up to high!

You see, when life, love and relationships get challenging, which they will, it's not enough just to have desire. It's too easy to give up. And we inhabit a world where this ‘giving up’ is rife, leaving us with scattered relationships, and a gnawing sense that maybe there’s something more that could have been drawn upon, that could have tended to the sparks that still glowed as embers, not quite extinguished.

We need something else, something stronger, something that is able to burn through the obstacles before us, and importantly, to burn us up, in service and sacrifice to something more. For that which we believe in; for what we ache for, yearn for; and for what we love, truly love.

Passion is this more sustainable force. It has a sacred quality to it. There's within its force an element of surrender to that which is greater than us.
