The invisible passions are indeed secret- unseen, often unspoken, un noticed- hidden in our inner selves. Satisfied briefly by a lover brought to maturity by marriage and child rearing but never extinguished. The raging fire becomes a warm ember; but still we persist and focus our desires on to our children.We guide them with passionate energy, we hover and worry and sometimes bully them; and if all else fails we pray over them, but through them we choose to keep our own passions alive.

Who is to know the course that life will lead us through; and which of our dreams will come to pass; and if they were indeed possible. Many are the secrets long put behind us; buried away in our memories and hidden from view. We think upon them and dismiss them as trivial; but once they were real, and at that time a very important part of our lives. They added hope and certain value to our growing years.

Perhaps the value if life lies not in the length of days; but in the use we make of them. A man may live long yet get little from life, whether you find SATISFACTION depends not on YOUR TALE OF YEARS BUT ON YOUR WILL TO EXPERIENCE ALL LIFE HAS TO OFFER, TO LIVE BY MY STANDARDS, NOT SOMONE ELSES AND TO ACCEPT MYSELF FOR WHO I AM! copyright E.J.Kringle

There is time now to reflect and wonder would I or could I have, if given half a chance, become a ballet dancer, or played piano or the violin before the masses. Ridden wild horses and been a jillaroo on a lonely cattle station or maybe been a screen idiol adored by millions.
