“While your principle represents how you expect people to behave and your passion informs what you’re motivated to do, your purpose underscores why these two are so imperative: because it brings about the desired state of being you long for.”

“Almost here with me, you seem to be, you do, every song, each sound, that’s new, is you, almost is enough, if just for me you are, passionate, my blood will boil for you, my star, of you I think when raindrops pure, make you seem like sky, or clouds, or sun, or stars; - the stars, afar from, always shining soft, each evening, their light is needed, for needs do come oft…”

“And if we ourselves have a vocation, if we have not betrayed it, if over the years we have continued to love it, to serve it passionately, we are able to keep all sense of ownership out of our love for our children. But if on the other hand we do not have a vocation, or if we have abandoned it or betrayed it out of cynicism or a fear of life, or because of mistaken parental love, or because of some little virtue that exists within us, then we cling to our children as a shipwrecked mariner clings to a tree trunk.”

“Oh, Cassie," he breathed against my lips. He loomed over me, bracing his weight on his elbows, his forearms on either side of my head. He leaned in, pressing a kiss to my temple. Then he chuckled quietly, the sound so happy and full of relief it broke my heart. "I will never be able to deny you anything you want." When I'd imagined this happening, alone in my bedroom, I'd imagined Frederick as a quiet and tentative lover, as polite and refined with sex as he was in everyday life. But there was nothing quiet or tentative about him now. Now that I was lying beneath him atop his lush four-poster bed, his passion was a dam bursting in flood, as though until this moment he'd been holding himself back only with extreme effort.”

“Lady Shaded G by Stewart Stafford This thorned rose is a perfumed pox, Rumours dog her as contagion itself; Breeding cherubs with batons sinister, Her trail leads to noblest chambers. Mothers warn sons not to mount, This mare of the rampant night, With dead eyes of a dark frontier, Her black dress does smother all. Fair Tiffany's skin flashes with iron, Once seen, wantonness shadows, Shady whispers inflame her temerity, A rock for purple ships a-crashing. © Stewart Stafford, 2023. All rights reserved.”

“Find a mission in your life. A commitment to a calling, a career, even a hobby focuses the mind and the soul. Psychotic patients report that they don't hear 'the voices' while they are busy working. Surely we ordinary people can calm our own internal voices with some intent activities. [...] Passion heals.”

“Winterland by Stewart Stafford Obelisk columns of a wintry afternoon, Bony fingers of nascent green in June, Pink snow clouds kissed by fading sun, Dark gold streets, hurry home as one. Shared body heat tenderises life so tough, Fusion shelter from gales so rough, Windows scream, a voyeur's peek inside, Lovers dismissed with wailing to chide. Darkness claims stragglers of day, Wrestles all an eye sees, stealing it away, Sleep whispers drowsy promises in our ears, We two, melding - strangers from our fears. © Stewart Stafford, 2023.
