A Journal for Passionate Reasoning....

Somehow that phrase seems like a contradiction and perhaps I like the combination of words because I feel both logically and emotionally about a lot of things; people, art, books, gardens, clouds, colours and dogs.

Years ago, a dear friend of mine suggested the title because she said it described me.  Sure, I’m passionate - but I am also pretty reasonable. And so, with heart in hand and a sprinkling of common sense, I have some things to share.

"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, desire."
                Aristotle

Passionate: having strong emotions or beliefs

Reasoning: the ability to think and understand things logically


"If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins."
               Benjamin Franklin


“Rest in reason; move in passion”

“Khalil Gibran
