“Passion can be helpful or unhelpful depending on context. The awakened mind exemplifies a passion for life doing the least harm.” Downward Dog

 “I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in the neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fáfnir was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien
