Priya comments : I specially liked the phrase,"If an idle mind is the devil's workshop, a mind engaged in its passion, is a divine workshop!" But how sad that we lose ourselves sometimes and have even forgotten what our passions are and what we are good at. Life happens to too many of us. And to get back in touch with the true you, requires a moment of quiet everyday. Difficult, but I think possible.
Your little essay has expressed what I have always felt deep within but was unable to articulate so forcefully. Passion is what gives our lives meaning, all the rest is just twiddling of thumbs till our time is over. As usual, I will (with your permission, of course) be putting this article up on our office notice board. Keep that flame glowing.

Elizabeth Dandy comments : What a beautiful and true article. Nothing is so disagreeable to the mind as the listless languid state of indolence into which it falls upon the removal of all passionate occupation and feelings. Insipid languor is indeed the devil's workshop! Let your light shine!
