Passion gives me moments of wholeness. I want to explode and fly in all directions. 

I want to live like a submarine, sunk always at the deepest level of instinct and intuition.

 I mostly know though, that I can never live entirely like that, 

for my life is slowed up by thought and the need to understand what I am living.
