An Observation on Life

Life is an intricate blend of heavenly highs and earthly lows.

Today I hit a low, a small dip. Thank goodness for good friends and family. And kids. Mostly kids who, with a single word or a sweet smile, can bring you up a couple notches back towards heavenly high. I love my kids.

And now that I think about it, I'm glad for these earthly lows. They serve as great reminders to keep us grounded.

For that is important too.

Letter to a Friend

Dear friend,

Today, I was just thinking that we have been friends for nearly half of my life. Although there is a distance of time and space between us, I still consider you among one of my greatest friends.

In many ways, we know each other quite well. We think alike, we enjoy the same things, the same hobbies, same interests, same views on many topics. And yet sometimes I feel as though we don't know each other at all.

I often wish we could be more a part of each other's life. But it seems we have this habit of coming and going...and a bit of reluctance as well. Please know that my mouth may not say it, but I think of you from time to time. Know that I am always wishing the best for you.

Signed,
Your Friend

Equilibrium

Life is polar in nature.

As examples, war or peace, black or white, north or south, good or bad.

We are always asking which is better.

But they are opposites.

Both are extremes.

In the middle is where reality lies; so also lies balance.

It is the wise person who understands this and an even wiser one who succeeds in moving towards one end of the pole versus the other and to what degree, for any given situation.

Balance, if obtained, will fulfill life more than anything else.
