Balance

The older I get, the more I realize the importance of balance in my life.

Time spent with people / Time spent with myself
Giving / Receiving
Sound / Silence
Speaking / Listening
Playing Music / Listening to Music
Food / Exercise
Following a Schedule / Spontaneity

Even so much as the balance of breathing. What humans need vs what trees need.

Today I came across an excerpt from a poem by W.H.Auden:
           "I love to sin; God loves to forgive;
             The world is admirably arranged."

Poets have a way of simplifying the dense, and beautifying the simple.
Life is incredibly exciting, isn't it?

Auden, 1907-1973.
