Shield.


In so many ways we are the same.
Our past makes us
scared to be vulnerable
scared to give up our control.


YET

The armor we wear makes one miss the whole joy of living.
It is our choice to break through.
You see, these tigers...
they are only made of paper
once we push through the fear.

Dear Violet Aquarius,
First off...can I steal your name? Yummy. Next....ahhh...Einstein's Dreams. I read it every year to remind me that we always have an array of choices and our ability to understand there is no wrong choice is critical to our freedom. Now, with that said, there are choices more driven by passion or choices driven by stability. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm a fire sign. I DIE without passion.
Thank you for the grin,
Jennifer

Very beautifully and profoudly put!

I am an Aquarius (shocker) which is an actually an air sign. Fire needs air to burn! :)

A life without passion is a life not lived.

Delightedly,
