Balance.

The darwinists say balance is created by evolution. The creationists say it's their version of intelligent design. The atheists agree with the darwinists. And the third group who doesn't care for the stock answer and believes it is something more we have not yet discovered..well that is the camp where you'll find me sitting around the campfire. Yes intelligent design does not have to taken from the heralding fundamentalist or one that believes in random chance. Intelligent design is something still beyond our grasp. The most powerful force we dismiss is balance. Gravity. Oxygen.
The mystery of it all. So many people want that control piece for answers.

Letting go is the place where I find answers but I also misplace that idea from time to time. Only when trying to help other in difficult situations does it come to me. The balance of this country has so many enemies. And enemies are us, so much of the time. Those that rant and scream out fear. Interesting that when we remember to try to eat well, get some kind of exercise, work on what we love, and work at what we have to do. Balance appears. Then just as fast along comes distraction that interrupts our memory of how important it is to stay in the balance. So many have been making money on dividing our country. Real courage is when can we start to really study what unites us again. What makes us a great nation is the united parts of our diversity and not just one following. Political messages try to grab us. The news tries to addict us. So much noisy static. Focus to balance comes a lot of the time in the idea of being a regular person that cares about others, without an agenda.
If you look closely. Take a breath and find just a beautiful sight in your children's eyes, a sunrise, your lovers lips or maybe see the limbs in the trees sway from the invisible breeze. It is so powerfully stunning. Ask yourself to see the balance and see the gifts from it each day.
