Gwen said this on Candyce’s blog.

“There’s nothing worse than contrived passion. It’s like an echo in an empty canyon, put forth with great effort and always returns but with a strange hollow sound.”

That’s amazing…what are your thoughts?

  1. Whoa. Very nice. Makes me want to drink a latte.

  2. would it sound like i was taking too much credit if i said that i like it when my blog attracts deep, thoughtful comments? :)

  3. Wow… that’s a little too close to home to simply enjoy the simple profundity. I want my efforts to go forth with a BOOM! I guess that’ll only happen with REAL passion. Thanks for the quote!

  4. you gotta know that anything profound is born of experience. Unfortunately, I can talk about contrived passion, in a word…ick! Thanks for the linky ;) Gwen

  5. great quote … it makes me wonder what motivates someone to contrive passion anyway …?

  6. kris, let me count the reasons…
    duty, guilt, need, there’s a hole in the dyke, misplaced loyalty etc. etc. etc….
