Here's how it works
(It being life)
Find passion
Stay passionate
Everything else comes second
Or third
Or sixty-first
After that
The pieces fall
And bam
You've finished the puzzle
In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Brick talks about clicking
Waiting for the click
To take him to that place
I clicked recently
Glorious numbness
The only way to function
As an artist
Outside
Trees sprouting buds
The sun piggybacking on the breeze
The redneck months are here
And not a moment too soon
Boston summers
In case you don't know
Are a steam bath at the top of a mountain
A tease
A beautiful tease
Bobby
Cousin
Homeboy
Roommate
Is a photographer
Made to take pictures
Just wait
Until I show you what he got in Hawaii
Holy Annie Liebovitz
This is talent
describe your relationship with marijuana.

Passion is age appropriate. My second graders are the most passionate little droplets of sweetness, I've ever seen. Their passions include:
1. the first time they wrote their name in script. It is unreadable to all but themselves and they LOVE it!
2. any picture they ever colored. Mostly these are printed coloring pages, never considered art in my eyes, but these masterpieces are scotch taped in ever corner of Room 201, especially my desk.
3. They are Passionate about Tuesday mornings = soggy french toast strips, (actually an old hot dog roll, grilled) and Thursday lunch ( spaghetti and meat sauce with a side of string beans) GOD BLESS B.P.S.
4. They are passionate about reading, Eric Carle, Cynthia Rylant, Mem Fox, Kevin Henkes, Leo Lionni, Dr. Seuss..all the wonderful authors, that fill their minds with ideas and knowledge that can take them places.
They are passionate about Rembrant, Picasso, Matisse, Da Vinci, how Van Gogh started painting at 27 and only painted for a few years and when his friend Paul Gaughan left him, and an upset Van Gogh cut off his ear.
I could go on forever, but my point is, little 7 year old munchables learning in a little school on a tiny hill in Roxbury are FILLED with passion and it's our job to foster it, so they may grow up, with the passion of my Favorite nephew. 143 Mimi
