I am a believer of needing balance and harmony in ones life. Without it, we suffer. I do not believe that all things are equal, because all things are ever-changing. It is about finding a rhythm of sharing and shifting power from one thing to the next, never having a complete dominance at all times or being lead along carelessly. Remitting. Flowing. They grant us the diversity in life that we all thrive upon, even when we don't think that we do.
I'm feeling as though my harmony is a little bit closer. The balance has been shifting in at a steadier pace recently and I am enjoying it. It has not been without its difficulties, but for the most part I find the change to be exciting. I like change. At least this sort of change, anyway. It feels full of positive energy, and who doesn't like that?
The funny thing about all of this is that it feels very familiar in a way. Not reminiscent of de ja vu, but it has a homey, comforting feeling, as though I'm getting back to my roots and many of those roots aren't as tangled and suffocating as I had previously thought them to be. Instead, I can see new shoots that are full of potential, reaching for the brightness in the world. It makes me feel hopeful and optimistic. Big things are in store, and there is beauty to be found!
