THE TIGHTROPE OF LIFE

"O God, I pray that not too much of calm be mine, but one day let the maddened rush of waters break against my soul."

~ Muriel Strode ~

Life is a balancing act. We need time with others and time alone. We need structure and freedom. We need purpose and spontaneity, conversation and silence, friction and ease.
     It's the contrast that keeps things interesting, and the mix of it all that makes life life.

I accept the ups and downs and roundabouts of my daily experience.
