What Stirs Your Soul?
by Karen C Vanderlaan → (All Poetry by Karen C Vanderlaan)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

What is that thing which stirs your soul,

And makes your spirit sing?

That intrinsic thing that gives joy to your life

Manifested in your passion.

 

One dancer stands out from the others

So fluid in her movement, you can’t look away.

 


A writer with pencils and paper in every room
And in each pants pocket, just in case inspiration comes


 A pre-teen girl astride her horse

Fluid on his back as if it was just meant to be

 

Fingers that dance upon keyboards and strings

Sending music through the souls of all listeners

 


A boy with ball and glove throws the ball on his roof
And runs over and over to catch it, well past dusk to dark


 

Whatever it is that makes your heart sing

And fulfills you deep within

Pursue that love and feed that need

As your gifts lie within that passion

My passion has always been life and living it as fully as I can. I do my best to make the most of what God has given me, and He's given me a pretty amazing life [even taking into account the deaths of all my children].

God bless you. Kathy

Yes, passion comes from the soul. We all know it, when it hits us. The passion that drives me, beauty in nature.
Much Peace, Love, and Light,

Very inspiring look at an individuals passion, far too many are discouraged instead of being offered support.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
