Episode 3 Coming Soon...

I am running behind in production, so I won't be releasing Episode 3 for a few more days. I appreciate your patience. I will have it up and running as soon as I can. Thanks for tuning in.

Here's the poem from last week in written format:

Gordes(Provence), France (c) 2003 Alessandro L DeNino

Peace

I never would have thought
There'd ever be a day
When I would feel so free,
Free of pain
and rain
No more tears
To stream down my face
At least for this moment,
Moment of grace

I look
to the sky
A sky so filled with
space
An endless space disguised in blue
Guarding the infinite beyond our race
That vast sea of stars
Revealed by nights cloak of dark
That moon of night
Reflecting fro
m the sun of day

Oh, what a beautiful
realm
of wonders known
To be known by you and I
Today and Forever


Gordes (Provence), France (c) 2003 Alessandro L DeNino

Passion has fueled movement for the greatest accomplishments made by man and some of the most heinous. Passion can be likened to the wind behind the sails with the rutter representing intuition and judgement. We need both to steer us in a focused direction in order to arrive at a desired destination. That destination is totally up to us, our lives are completely in our hands, not the hands of some distant deity looking from above and judging. I believe that we all know this at a cellular level.

I am a man of passion first and foremost, and I've always been, even in the midst of dark depression. I've chosen this title because here and now I am embarking upon an adventure that will take me to a foreign land, Italy, which I have loved since a child, and towards the music career I have always desired. Passion has it's name written all over my journey. Along the way I hope to share my other passions as well, such as my deepest desire for mankind to finally unite in remembrance of one of the greatest truths, that we all are ONE expressed through individual yet equally brilliant light.

My greatest hope yearns for a greater awakening and care for our fellow man, so that in our near future there will never be a man, woman, or child that goes without food, clothing, or shelter in a world that has more than enough for everyone, and then some. Please follow me on this Journey of Passion. I hope that it will spark your unique fire that burns within, for when it is awakened and you follow your heart, that joy alone can be the catylist for great change.








Now, I am going to introduce my podcast which is also titled Journey of Passion. The purpose of this blog is to host this podcast. My goal is to post a new blog everytime I post a new podcast. In that blog will be a description of what the podcast includes, links pertaining to information that I speak about, and photos taken along the journey.

(Episode 1 has been removed due to it's amateur style, excessive rambling, and poor audio quality. To be honest, it was kind of boring. I didn't like it. But thanks to it I managed to break into the world of podcasting, and for that I am grateful. So long Episode 1!)
