Moments of passion are the highest moments in life, Anais Nin says. All of her best moments are born of passion, she says, and the other moments, she does not dwell on. Passion is a way of life that creates awareness, aliveness, an absence of automatically plodding through a routine.
Anais goes further in discussing the role of awareness in psychoanalysis. She says that awareness alone does not make a person change behavior; it takes analysis to re-live and confront situations and feelings and find the original wound. This process enables a change from within; a heightened awareness leads to realizations of aspirations.
Anais has recovered from the surgery to remove her ovary, and rewards herself with another trip to Mexico.
