  pucker up                                             Let us caress one another with the lips – gently coming into contact with the souls we’ve learned to love. Sometimes you say you have nothing to say yet I always long to know. I’m curiously searching after your words.  Have you ever fallen in love with the voice singing your favorite song? Do you ever fall in love with the words you read on a page/screen? Sometimes it isn’t love but rather a compelling passion we feel – compassion. We feel a sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.  Some people would seem to have a gravity force field around them. We find ourselves being pulled in their direction and there is no way to get them out of our minds. Know anyone like that? Wonder what makes them so desirable? It is their passion. It acts as an external agent or force. An overmastering feeling which rules their lives making them oh so attractive.  ”The only thing worth writing comes from deep inside, sometimes I get so deep I feel I can see my self walking on the ocean floor watching the sun set”. -Jimi Hendrix  ”A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” -Maya Angelou “I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.” -Frida  When a person reveals their passion in whatever form, whether it’d be art, words, music, or whatever else, one can’t help but to be moved. One can’t help but to want for more. I know I’ve asked before but I can’t help it. I want more therefore I must ask: What drives you? What is your ruling passion? What remains in you outside of reason? You see, for me, it’s people. The dreams of my students fuel my own. Their success makes my heart smile. And when they are afraid, I want to lead the way regardless of my own insecurities. The way that I easily make someone smile makes  me feel bleesed. The way I manage to learn from people, and so many other things I´m unable to number here… No wonder God spent some good time on us. How amazing is that? Because of them, I’m able to overcome my own fears and achieve even the most unexpected dreams.  When is the last time you fell in love? I hope it was today.  PS So, how about a kiss while I’m still here? Make it good because I’m still celebrating my birthday.* *
