When Passion Flames Anew

Sometimes love is present, and it contuse to burn with your love. When it flames up to a higher level, it reminds us what passion really is, and why we have the love we do. It anew the love, brings back the memories of how bright it once was, when it first caught fire. Rekindling your passion is key to keeping it going. Passion for what your love stands for, for all the things that made and keeps you in love, the way you feel by just the sound of your loves voice, or movement, smell, touch, or taste. Passion can be flames from your loves compassion for others, simple acts of kindness, things that others may not see that you see and appreciate, are proud of. Passion of their spirit, their morals and ways of life, interests, and so many ways passions can be shared and enjoyed. Do not take your love for granted, as that can lead to ignoring, boredom, and loss of passion, which is the saddest thing to lose with your love. Its what gives you joy, balance, and company, strength to make it through the things that may test your strength in facing lifes obstacles. Passion for your love. It need not be for just a sexual partner, it may be spiritual, love for your child or friend, or other love one. Passion is the wondrous feelings that burn through you when you see them think of them or feel a spiritual presence. Passion can motivate you to do more than you ever thought you could do, to try harder, to keep going, to improve yourself, your way of life. When passion burns anew, keep it going. When it had died, or dimmed down so low, reflect and renew. If need be, find a new passion, a friend once told her husband, that he should find his passion in work and do it. He was well trained and successful in several careers, but there was not passion. He is reflecting and will surely find it. If you do not seek it, you will not find it. May you all find you passions, and have many kinds. Keep you passions burning, never let them die out. Life should be full of passion, so go and live it to the fullest that you can! I created this design using Corel and Jasc software to manipulate a photo I took. I added tubes, which is a stamp type of brush object effect, and manipulated those a bit as well.

Cool design. I don't think you've used that fire effect before? It came out neat. What was REALLY neat was your essay on passion. Wonderful words of wisdom, beauty, and introspection. I wish reality could really be like that.

Artist Reply: A few times I've used the fire elements, but was't to pleased at it. I write as I feel and how I wish life to be for all. Lack of passion in life can so drain your soul to death. Thank you for you comments!

Interesting and beautiful work

Jerry 18 Sep 2006

Very interest, intense and colorful work Terry!

Artist Reply: THanks Jerry! If my hands worked better, I'd be wood carving and sculpting. Now a days, I'd probably hurt myself or anyone or thing near me. Maybe a dremmel will work? My hands go numb easy gripping things, but I might try it. I can sculpt. Will wait until I move and set up a wrkshop.

These are so great, Terry! You get better and better!

Artist Reply: Thanks Emily so much! There is so much to expore, and to create. often I get these crazy ideas, and and work them out on the computer. Other times, when blocked, go through works I didn't like or finish, redo, add to, combine, and come up with somethng that spurs the mind, and it just works out right how I'd imagine it.
