YEAR OF ZEN: AUTUMN: DAY 35

Oath of the Horatii - Jacques-Louis David

Q: You have the capacity to not get lost in anger and reactivity. Reflect.

A: I believe that it is possible to live a life of passion and awareness that reflects back (and illuminates) us. And, I believe that passion is a powerful force that can just as easily be used for good as it can be used for ill. I can try and live a life of passion and have it inform everything I do without it leading to the loss of my emotional control. This awareness is important for staying positive and balanced.
