The Passion

in #photography5 years ago (edited)



pas·sion·ate /ˈpæʃənət/ adjective

1: having, showing, or expressing strong emotions or beliefs source



There are countless things about which people are passionate – if something can be experienced, studied, collected, grown or raised, I can find somebody-somewhere- who is passionate about it. This itself provides great variety in life- as we mix with those whose passions that are different from ours. A gentle mix of passion and spice that makes the world go round.

So, I ask you; what is it that fires your engines every day? What is your passion? — at smelling the bouquet of life.


Feel free to leave me an answer in the comment section! I would love to know what your passion is! I didn't have to think long or hard about this, although, I did find that I have far too many passions to fit into my twenty-four hour day.


I will say that I love photography. It is something that has come slowly to me, but, along the way somewhere, it needed to have words paired with it, perhaps to explain, or perhaps, they just needed to be let out. They may be thoughts or musings or even an occasional piece of pseudo-poetry.




I touch you lightly
With my thoughts
Your heart is next to mine
Caressed by hands of love
My love
Lips to lips, a gentle kiss
Tracing the reality back to my heart
I roll over, and the moment takes its escape.

(¸.•´ (¸.•'Again


Then again, just rambling or thoughts that may come tumbling out. Admittedly, I have them often.



Golden opportunity, golden touch, golden boy, golden rule...Oh, the richness of gold. Golden can mean that a person is in a desirable situation that will likely lead to some sort of success. Like bringing me a small bunch of golden sunshine tightly bound in grosgrain ribbon. Desirable and quite likely successful in making me happy. Life awaits you in all its fullness and joy. Happy almost Wednesday — at the corner of happiness and sunshine.



Sometimes I want to make a statement, so I put words on my pictures. When I look at that picture, what I remember is that there was horrific violence in the world that day. I was so taken back by it, that the only thing I wanted was to embrace the silence that was thrust upon my soul. Oh, my soul.



And perhaps, just maybe, I might have forgotten to tell you that I love flowers. Especially if I can tie them to a challenge. There must be a flower. Always.



Whispered words, cannot be heard
But, only by the heart
As it should be
My love, my love


Today is #TreeTuesday! Let's see those trees!!



Those are the big things that I am passionate about... Well, except for the simple fact that Kindness Counts for everything. So, what are you passionate about???? Tell me, tell me, tell me, do.

Cheers!!

Later that night
I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,

"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"

Thank you so much! I truly love pairing up words with photos. It takes away any imperfections of the photos when there is something else to look at!

Oh I would have to say family first of course. Then there is photography, blogging/vlogging, boating, kayaking, just being in nature. I have a passion for living in the now. Enjoying and being satisfied in the little things. Great question.

Absolutely. The family goes without saying, but, then you know that much about me. And I do know that it is the little things in life that really catch your attention.

There are so many things when I sat there and thought about it. I would never have known that blogging/vlogging is way up there! ;)

You have some great passions.

Thanks for leaving a comment with them!

I will not mention the amazing flower photos... They are perfect, as always. 🙂
But I'll have to say your question really got me thinking. What is that thing that gives me power and motivation every day? It might look a simple question but surely it is not.
My answer... Kids, family, flowers, pets, photography... Life in general. 🙂

That 's it!!! Life is good! I think that is what it boils down for me too! I love life and everything about it.

The birds, the trees, the kids and running straight into the sunshine. Some days are good, others, simply amazing!

Have a great day Roxy! @roxy-cat

Thank you for your amazing support, Denise. 😘
I'm so glad I met you. And mostly, I'm happy to see there are still people who love life with all its features, good or bad.
Have a wonderful day!

Oh, you too, my friend! Life is beautiful and such a gift! Yes!

I'm going to have to give that some thought. The first thing I thought of was staying out of pain, a consuming focus for the last ten years, which I am having much success...I have a few tricks that work. All is right with my world tonight.

And of course, that is what I love to hear! When pain has subsided or brought to remission or is at a level of tolerance, the world spins so much better!

Best news tonight!

It's been a distraction. My passion for drumming in the beginning was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I had no intension of learning how to do it, I just wanted to hear it. My passion was to let them take me the extacy playground and to share the beauty of the layered rhythms and the power of the drums. I'm convinced drumming is the cure for world peace.

If you close your eyes and listen to it, the energy derived is alluring and so very infectious. I am so glad you shared the video of it!

Do you have more of them?

I rarely have taken a photo or video of anything. I have a few bits and pieces that dancers have recorded and that I have access to but the sound quality is somewhat poor. I plan on recording playing with friends in my living room or wherever we decide to meet up and hope the I can capture a decent sound.

Practice with it before you need to record it. That way you can tell ahead of time if the sound is going to work!

My granddaughter and I recorded the two of us and it was ok. I need to hear what four to ten strong drummers sound like. I hope to be recording in the next couple of weeks. Until then I will try and find some of our old plays.

What a gorgeous post with such beautiful words to go with the exquisite photos, and then that thought provoking question, I have to say family is first for me in everything but i had to think if that was a passion, and to a dgree it is or spending time with family is somehting I am always making as my number one priority

but I have to also mention photography and walking, I do get such pleasure out of the combination of them booth and it is my way of both being active and relaxing and i was hesitant to say it is a passion but then I thought about it more and it truly is

And I hope steemit will stay working long enough for me to hit send and for it to work

I am there with you on this one! I wasn't sure if I should list family as it isn't so much a passion, even if I am passionate about them. So, I didn't, but of course, I love them to the moon and back.

I had a feeling that photography would be right up there for you and editing is what I would have guessed because you really love to tool around with those prints and make them pop off the page, even more than they already do.

Yours didn't surprise me one bit! LOL But, so many of us here are predictable in that way! Plus!!! We all love to Steem!

!tip

I know many on here would have guessed one or maybe two of what I would put as wishes, I knew you would know all three without a doubt, so I am not surprised you were not surprised LOL

PS with sunny and 72 are you out swimming in the pool yet?

Haha! We are going to be experiencing winter again next week I hear!! Cold temps anyway!

Boooooo!

I have put blinkers on and refused to looka week ahead and just enjoying what we are getting this week :) now you spoilt it for me and I have to go look

PS. You didnt a colleague also said the same a little while ago

Haha dswigle, what a fun post and question to throw out to us. I have a passion for so many things - my family, love, living, writing, photography, walking, riding, and ..... All brings joy. Got to grab life and see its beauty in every nook and grany.

Absolutely!!!! I could have gone on and on!!! I wanted people to read it, so I kept it short.

Family is #1 - without them, I am nothing. Truth. Oh! You are a rider? Horses or bikes? ;)

I take the four-legged kind! Thank you for sharing your passions with us! You totally rock!

Oh, I love your words & images @dswigle ♥ I see a "coffee table book" in the works here :) I am passionate about living my passions :))) And growing, evolving, opening my heart more and more, meeting my potential. All while traveling, creating, and meeting beautiful people who live their passions. Thank you for doing what you love!!! It shows ♥

Wow! The real thing is back! This post should be trending instead of the muck that they put up there and I see that you haven't lost your touch Lady Denise. Instead it seems to have evolved into a deeper passion for life.
Talking about passions I have two. Helping poor people and nature. The first led to burn-out and second is the healer, as whenever I do something I put my whole heart into it!
Blessings and you will enjoy it here @powerhousecreatives
