Balance!


Moderation, balance, harmony, peace, centeredness...amazing words, life defining values...utterly impossible :).
Well, not impossible but highly improbably in every moment of the day. BUT...there are those moments that it seems the confluence of the hectic streams of life flow evenly, balanced and in harmony and peace. Those moments are worth a pause.
This bathroom situated at the top of Whistler mountain is such a wonderful picture of those kind of moments...balance even in precarious times. It seems that we are in those times...those precarious times when the future though planned isn't quite as certain. The edge of worry breaks into every shopping trip and bank deposit...what ifs bombard the usual stream of nonsense thinking and we wonder...
I find the confluence of my streams of life meeting most consistently in peaceful moments when I dive into what is true, full of beauty and achingly simple. What brings balance to me in these moments is a Prince of Peace...true, full of beauty and achingly simple.
