the balance

Is what it is all about. In order to keep yourself in a position to grow, a balance must be maintained. I am reminded of something my dad once said, "you need three things in this life; work, play, and love." He's right. For me, though, I think of it more like equilibrium between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sides of myself. Keeping the body strong, the mind sharp, the heart open, and the spirit forever seeking. Sometimes they can get out of alignment, but there is always a reminder if you are open to see it; the return of balance never getting more than a small step away.

I was recently reminded of this a few weeks ago as I came down with bronchitis. It is important not only to stop and allow yourself to recover from a setback, but to take that with you and recognize the way in which you have thrown the balance out of alignment. Remember it, use it, always allow for growth. Never stop growing.

longwood gardens

Is a great place to go on a Saturday afternoon. Took some pictures in the conservatory.
11/15/08.


Got caught in a rainstorm on the way out. Ate some fishes and then went to a housewarming party at John and Amy's. I hate to admit it, but the Barbary...again..............as much fun as it can be, I had an epiphany that the place is retarded......................

so disappointed

In the Diplo show at the Starlight Friday (11/14). It was mad crowded with underage kids on hard drugs. The whole reason I even went was for the after party, which you were supposed to be able to get into if you bought tickets ahead of time. Which I did, but by the time we got to the show, the guy at the door said they gave out all the passes already. As I was walking away, I saw him give passes to a group of 20 year old girls in fluorescent nikes. Oh well............it was on to the Barbary.

body meets the mind
stretching reaching growing strong

bike ride

11/9/08- Sunday rode 21.1 miles out to West Chester. Not nearly enough, although I am graced with acceptance for things that may temporarily get in the way. Control is just an illusion. I am the rock.
