That's the thing about Leidenschaft
The word Passion can not fully translate the meaning of the word Leidenschaft, since Leidenschaft consists of "Leiden", pain, and Schaft, which in this case translates to the process of creating something.
This sentence, taken literally or considering what I just told you about Leidenschaft means our body craves this form of engagement with pain, and I think that's another interesting layer to it.

Being. Since the word is inaccurate, it is crossed out. Since it is necessary, it is left legible.

Martin Heidegger, in a letter to Ernst Junger, 1956
How desperately I have wished for memories to be eternal, but eternity exists only insofar as it buries itself in smaller things. The photograph will exist longer than I can ever remember its being taken. Even the candle which burns exists longer than my recollection of the candle or its burning—it exists but is transmogrified.
In this way, in smaller things, it is buried. In this way, maybe, I am buried too.
