Balance

The ABC Chronicles

---

What comes to mind when I think of the word balance is the delicate balancing we see in our daily lives… giving competing priorities their fair share of time and energy. 

I also think of yin and yang and the opposing forces in the universe. Neither can exist without the other. That concept can get a little too philosophical, but what I take from it is that whatever phase I’m at in my life, there is an opposing phase that balances it out. It may take time to arrive, or discover, but it is there. Somewhere. 

Anyway, this image was spontaneous as opposed to being planned out. One of the best things about creating without an agenda is that you have zero expectations. Without expectations, there’s basically no room for disappointment. Well… theoretically you can be disappointed if nothing ever comes to fruition – but that will not happen if I just keep going (and stay balanced).

I’m pretty happy with my monochrome image. It’s sort of representative of life when you think about it… full of twists and turns. All of those twists and turns are simply part of the experience, and they will shape you, but the end result can be beautiful if you maintain balance and are willing to see the harmony that exists in it all. 

Thankfully I don’t see balance in the same way as this woman though. I fell out of a tree once. It was very bizarre, I couldn’t move… only drop. But I survived!

Anyway, that about sums up the word balance and the letter ‘B’ so I am off to ponder the ‘C’ word. Wish me luck.

Until then…

In balance and with gratitude,
peace & love.
