Life’s Delicate Balance

I can have anger and not hate. I can love and not forgive. I can forgive and leave.

The older I get the more I realize that life is about balance. Coming thru such severe childhood trauma I often get stuck in an off-balance kind of place — everything is good or everything is bad. No in between. However, life is best lived in balance.

I find it hard to stay in the dance of joy. I look for struggle, unfortunately. It’s what I know best. I believe God wants me to change that outlook. Look towards my future and smile. I am learning to do that but I’ve not obtained that yet.

Striving towards the goal of unity within my own being is something that matters to me. I think I’ll find this by understanding balance better.

Balance means an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady. What a beautiful idea for life. This notion brings a steadiness.

Yes, I will be looking for balance in life. I think it’s a great goal.
