Life's Passions

I always thought graveyards were creepy & depressing and I have generally tried to avoid them. But yesterday in my wanderings I ended up in a graveyard of nuns. Standing there, surrounded by hundreds of former Sisters of Charity I felt an incredible sense of hope and peace.My wife has always been fascinated by graveyards. She has long tried to share this interest with me and has pushed me to explore beyond my comfort zone, and I am grateful she did. Yesterday surrounded by hundreds of monuments dedicated to those who lived a lifetime of service and love I had a beautiful and glorious moment.

I have shared many of my passions with her as well. And though she was originally skeptical about the values of cylon warriors and Bruce Wayne's troubled childhood, she too has embraced many of my passions and come to appreciate the great diversity of joys life holds. It feels great to share your passions with others and to explore their passion with them. If you love something, don't keep it to yourself, share it with others.
