White Hot and Passionate

White hot and passionate is the only thing to be."
— Roald Dahl

I love the quote.  I love the photograph below. White hot and passionate is the way to go through life.  How do you do it?  I suppose it's about attitude and temperament, about taking what life gives you and turning it into roses, red wine, and beach nights.  White hot suggests ebullient, open, and more than a tad hedonistic.  Passionate implies intensity and strength.  Put them together and you have a person who is engaging and engaged with life.  In a word, alive. 

The trick is in sustaining white hot and passionate.   Age can fuel passion.  A 25 year old person can be white hot  but the wisdom of a passionate 60 year old burns hot and turns the darkest night into cool flames.  At least that's what I want to believe.
