passion

he sent me some really cool photos last nite.
i commented on them early this morning.
he wrote back. he was still up. outside.
taking photos. said he was up late.

okay, he's in alaska, i'm in maryland.
there IS a time diference...but still!

he wrote a bit later on his way to get some
sleep......it was 3 in the morning.

i wrote him back......told him i loved his
passion....and that i couldn't remember the
last time i stayed up til 3 in the morning
for anything......

then i saw a friend post on facebook....
she was up til 3:30 in the morning reading
a book she loved....

hmmmm.........

pulling my curtains off the clothesline this
morning, i consoled myself with the idea that
i'll get up early to be with the morning.......

that kinda worked.
well, not really.

i think of myself as a passionate person.
i love what i do, will do it with gusto, spend
a ton of time doing it.....

love my mornings....revel in them.....

but um......

it's been a long time since i stayed up til
three in the morning for anything.

or got up at three in the morning for anything.

last time i did that, i was taking a trip....

hmmmmm........

this has me thinking....

What about your unbridled passion for sleep? Does that count for nothing?

Seriously, though...some passions come in spurts, like a book you just have to read from cover to cover. Some require stamina for the long haul. Is your passion a sprint or a marathon? You would run them differently.
