fiery amour.

fiery; adj; passionate and deeply felt. amour; noun; a secret or illicit love affair.

A flame must burn somewhere, otherwise no light shines; there is no warmth, nothing.

But what is passion, what are emotions?

There is the source of fire, there is the fullness of energy.

A man who is not on fire is nothing: he is ridiculous, he is two-dimensional.

He must be on fire even if he does make a fool of himself.

A flame must burn somewhere, otherwise no light shines; there is no warmth, nothing.

“The hardest thing I have learned and still struggle with is that I don’t have to be finished to be whole.”

“I keep looking for one more teacher, only to find that fish learn from water and birds learn from sky. If you want to learn about the sea, it helps to be at sea. If you want to learn about compassion, it helps to be in love. If you want to learn about healing, it helps to know of suffering. The strong live in the storm without worshipping the storm…”

— Mark Nepo

“Love is the ability to hold someone through all their changes, not too tightly but the way the sky holds the sun.”

And this is what love is for you—wanting to give your blood when everything is over.

Life never stays still. And if life doesn’t flourish, it fades. Either you discover more and more new sources of life, or you walk toward the grave. Becoming always remains unstable.

But beautiful things. Graceful things. Hopeful things can sometimes appear in dark places.

It is not easy to leave one self and embrace another. Your freedoms will scar you.

What I really wanted was to be taken to whatever the edge of self was. To a death cusp. Maybe not literally. But maybe literally.
