What’s better, fire-red passion
Or pure white compassion?
Neither and both.
We need to find a loving space
In the middle,
A place of forward movement,
And thinking,
Or else we just spin our wheels,
Round and round in circles,
Getting nowhere, becoming
More fearful or more feared.
True living is realizing our need,
For the opposite other,
Without abandoning, neglecting,
Or negating ourselves.
Our passionate red fire
Gives life purpose, meaning and
Reason for being, while
White purity of heart or
Spiritual goodness,
Subdues our passions,
Throwing some healing water,
On our flames and our pains.
Love is passion tempered with
Compassion…
Patience, trust, faith, rest, healing,
Acceptance, forgiveness and
Highest intentions.
Compassion is needed,
As we play our life games,
Reaching for our ruby-red dreams.
