A PLEA FOR PASSION


THE HEART OF THE MATTER


"The inner life, the story of our heart,

is the life of the deep places within us,

our passions and dreams,

our fears and our deepest wounds.

It is the unseen life, the mystery within.

It cannot be managed like a corporation.

The heart does not respond to principles and programs;

it seeks not efficiency, but passion.

Art, poetry, beauty, mystery, ecstasy:

These are what rouse the heart.

Indeed, they are the language that must be spoken if one wishes

to communicate with the heart.

It is why Jesus so often taught and related to people by telling stories and asking questions.

His desire was not just to engage their intellects

but to capture their hearts."


--The Sacred Romance
