Weekword: Balance

I chose Balance as this week's word for no other reason than I woke up with it in my head Tuesday morning. Little did I know I would receive a valuable lesson that clarified the importance of balance.

Please visit these wonderful people to see their take on the word.

For my take on Balance, let's visit the comics....

Balanced 

Sheltered within my little box of 

sunshine, flowers and happiness

Somewhere along the lines 

Real life takes over

I forget to balance the good with the bad

Sometimes I ward off the hits

And rebalance

Sometimes

 

I crumble under the weight of it all

I forget the other side

I live one sided and topple

Something comes along and 'magically'
lifts me off my feet
reminds me of hope and love and light









I think to myself, silly girl
You forgot The Balance
I come out stronger
From the experience
I have seen some of the darkness
And yet I stand
I am resilient

Enthralled by the light

Diving into organized religion, meditation, prayer
Creative processes







Wanting more of the light
Of the creative intoxication
I float away

Until real life pulls me back
Reminding me of responsibilities
The need to serve the physical body
And not just the spiritual/creative one




I think to myself, silly girl
You forgot The Balance
I come out stronger and more spiritual
From the experience
I have seen some of the darkness
And I have seen the light
I am reminded that I am both sides
That I am more than my little box

Pretty crude comics, huh?

Sorry but the pictures were in my head and in between trying to be with my Mama

And waiting for a huge mulch delivery, they wanted out

This year I've learned the importance of balance

That I am not just a physical creature with real life issues

But that I have a very real creative, spiritualistic, side of Light

And that no matter how bad things seem to be

There is always something waiting to pull me back on my feet

That it is vital for my well being

That I live both sides

I can sway to the left 

I can sway to the right

Like the great oak in the middle of a storm

I will not break

I may take some hits

But each makes me stronger for the next one

But most importantly
That I am not here on my own
I have support on the physical and spiritual realms
I am Balanced
