Balancing Act

Life is a bit of a balancing act! I have to remember to keep playful, take a few risks, and push myself a bit harder from time to time. Making sure I keep some options open seems to help, and of course, if I come a cropper and fall off occasionally I like to be sure it is possible to climb out of the water and try again, or sail away for a recovery break! So here we are, practicing our balancing acts and so far still having fun, adjusting things when things don't quite go to plan and being kind to each other when things get wobbly.

Make Love your Banner

I want my journey through life to be a thoughtful one, a life I can look back on with a sense of having tried to make life good for those around me, and having given me a satisfying ride as well! Travelling with love and a kindness towards the world around me is important, enabling me to accept the things I can't change and appreciating the things that are different from my own ways for the beauty they hold. There are so many wonderful people and creations around us and I don't want to miss anything by having my eyes closed in fright when I come across something that is different! Sometimes it is necessary to narrow your field of vision to deal with a difficult time but I never want to close my eyes against the world entirely!

Feeling My Way in the Dark

Sometimes I really don't know what to do next. I reckon keeping on moving is the best approach, something will emerge eventually. Maybe something new and different, maybe not. This is a picture that reflects my belief that even if you think it's dark and nothing is out there, if you look hard enough and keep moving there is richness to be added to your experience. At night you need to look at things with the edge of your vision to see anything, listen harder, pay attention to changes in the air, and sometimes life is like that.
