“The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.” (Euripides)
With every step
Balance
With every change
Balance
With every choice
Balance
We are always going
In and out
Of equilibrium
Life is calling
For more
There’s always more
And with every step
Balance
“What produces a genuine person is being open to not feeling okay.” (Pema Chödrön)
From all of our journeys
The one within will take you deeper
To a place of love and fear
Where Being resides
And when we close our eyes
We suddenly realize
We do not want to go
What we may find scares us
Threatens us
All we want is love
But Dear, listen
Become friendly with yourself
Smile at fear
Welcome your pain
Feel your way in
And all the sudden
You have found a peace
An acceptance
A genuine feeling
That trumps all others
It is Life itself
Embracing you
All of you
“If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.” (Eleanor Roosevelt)
The many tastes of Life
Are worth it
So enjoy the journey
Unpredictable
Unknown
Life
Delightful
Exhilarating
All experiences are valuable
The many tastes of Life
Are worth it
