i was thinking today
that fierce
seems a hard word.
intense.
frightening, almost.
until i think of it
in terms of love.
and then it seems
to describe a thing
more tender
and raw.
both constant
and intangible.
frightening, almost.
so,
perhaps fierce
seems just right
after all.

and.
i don't think i could be good at anything i wasn't passionate about.
is it that way for you?
and.
i am so trying to keep my sense of humor, but this parenting gig is rough stuff, sometimes.
sunshine, today. i hope where you are, too. thanks for reading.

i think fierce is a great word - 'showing a heartfelt and powerful intensity'.
and yes parenting can definitely be rough stuff at times.
love the photo
i like fierce as in protective and nurturing love...and it is rather passionate, but sometimes passion can be sometimes be so consuming when you're the recipient - or maybe consuming is a not good word for that, exhausting perhaps? but...i want to be loved passionately....lots of thoughts turning in my head about that.
i think i do a good job at my job even though i'm not perhaps as passionate at it as would be, say - cooking or photography.
fierce is a word i rarely use but do embody somewhere deep inside. i think it's a word/feeling to save for really important things.
and i don't think i could at something i wasn't passionate about but luckily the sea of things i'm passionate about is wide and deep.
the parenting gig is so trial and error that a sense of humor is surely the best tool in the toolbox.
plenty of sunshine and the bees are back
thanks for asking
cheers,

fierce.
sounds to me strong but not overbearing.
intentional
protective
parenting my almost 15 year old son is the most challenging thing I have done to date.
in love, of family and friends, fierce makes me think of undeniable. deeply rooted and protective.
these words are lovely.
I'v got a fierce on here too. It's been a bit calm at the moment but Spring seems to be when it really ramps up. He doesn't do well with change and endings and the close of the school year can be especially difficult for him. I'm stocking up on the wine.
yes, fierce just about describes it.
