Return From Balanced Existence

 

“Activity and rest are two vital aspects of life. To find a balance in them is a skill in itself. Wisdom is knowing when to have rest, when to have activity, and how much of each to have. Finding them in each other – activity in rest and rest in activity – is the ultimate freedom.”
― Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

 

Another day returning from a trip across the continent. It was a fun mini-holiday that strengthened family ties and allowed me three nonstop days of playing with kids and dogs. There is something imminently blissful about just letting go and playing tho somehow I ended up with an average of three hours of sleep a night. Lack of balance is still lack of balance even when it is done in a spirit of love and joy. Now I am home and a good night’s rest will be restorative.
It is fun tho how self-expression can be addictive tho. My sister’s Rottweiler is a great dog tho he will obsessively bring back balls to be thrown and that appears to be what he sees as his purpose in life. To get the ball when its shown. Somehow I have been cultivating that with my art and blogging. I am fortunate in that I learn so much from both the production of my art and the feedback I get from everyone here.
Blessings, G

  1. Yes, balance is all yet often difficult to see or return to when out of balance. I also am obsessed with my art, a fine balance I think, but have other obsessions that unbalance. I like the metaphor of the dog’s ball but not sure I would want to connect it with art and blogging…the dog learns nothing from the act despite experiencing pleasure…

    1. hmmm i don’t know.. On some level I believe that both the dog in question and my dogs here are becoming experts in cajolery and plaintive looks 🙂 Judging by the amount of times I find myself throwing the ball despite the firmest intentions otherwise, they may also be learning hypnosis :p
