How to live with intensity and passion by Sherri Rosen
Today I realized I so appreciate many of my online friends and in person friends and family who live with intensity and passion.
But when it comes to my own intensity and passion, sometimes it seems too much for me. When I am aware that it sometimes is too much for me
that’s when I have to pull back and take a break, by either having a day where I am not on the phone, not communicating through my cellphone or
my iPad, not on FB or Twitter, and perhaps just veg out on some shallow tv.
It’s anomaly to me because in my intensity and passion I allow myself a great deal of space to make decisions, to work, to play, to choose, and I do the
same for anyone that comes into my life. A lot of folks are drawn to the intensity and passion because it’s genuine. Cannot make up some of the stuff
that i say and do. And I know how to have fun and at times I am very funny and i can just laugh at myself and at life and how crazy we all are.
I realize that the intensity and passion is a gift that has been given to me. It is with me in every part of my life. My personal life, my work, my play contains
all of the above because I never shut it down. Through the years I have learned to live with it. I used to shut it down or allow others to shut it down, but
that made me very unhappy. For instance, with my work, I love it!!! I could not do the work that I do if I didn’t love what I do and totally adore many of
the clients that I work with. I have made some amazing connections with some of my clients. With my family and many other people that I love,
I just love them and am learning about unconditional love. Some have hurt me, some I have hurt, but if there is genuine love there and they are still
in my life. And for the ones that have walked away or I have walked away from, that does not take away the love I have for all of them. The people may disappear from my life
but the love never disappears.
I have also learned to contain the intensity and passion. For years I was all over the place. Could not sit still. Would not shutup. It made me crazy and I am sure
it made other people crazy, but with the help of meditation, a lot of inner healing work, and living at a Buddhist Retreat Center for 2 years I can contain
my craziness and not have to put it out there at the expense of others. I have also learned to channel the intensity and passion into my writing, and hopefully
some of you who read my work can identify with me, and not feel so alone with your feelings. And back again to gratefulness by experiencing the passion and intensity
in my work and play.
The people that are in my life or who have been in my life, know that when I get excited about something it’s contagious. Wonderful things can happen. Magic can happen.
and “they may not remember what I said, but they will remember how I made them feel.”

Camilla * what you’ve written here IS so buuftieal…it brought tears to my eyesyesterday i came to see your Lady in the woods +*& wanted to say so much …I couldn’t begin…(my heart was all full of what had happened in Pakistan and your lady and that other ^symbolic^ lady …well…they crashed into each other inside me) your lady image helped me think out/write out ideas of sacrifice and power and strength; of living from deep inside, of being brave; as woman who bleeds–and is flesh/flower/intelligence. I often want to throw away writing (i’ve always felt words don’t work) and find other ways, other arts & *silence* to express..: because it seems so hard (impossible maybe) to ever fully communicate the tangled skeins of mystery we touch within ourselves.Some people seek “voice” their whole life. You own yours and know its pulse, and walk its unfolding wonderfully.
