The Four Ps and More

First, I thought I could not pick one passion. Writing poetry, painting, planting, and Photography, all equally driven – So, what one thing makes me feel the most grand? Experiences with diversity – Discovery with serendipity – Decisions made with spontaneity – Solutions found without adversity – Spur of the moment surprises…unplanned. Helping others and showing compassion All of these excite me; make me feel grand. Then, it hit me, my ultimate passion. No matter whether practicing talents Or solving problems with excessive zest, The absolute zeal, which never relents, My greatest passion, always do my best. (Not necessarily the best...just my best.) © March 5, 2011 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen

Thank you for choosing me to be a winner. I wanted to support your contest. At first I didn't think I could because I don't have just one passion, like the poem said. Then, I realized that I do have one passion...about everything...even things I am not good at doing...and that is to always do my best. So, your contest was actually insightful for me. Thank you for that, too!
