Today I find myself seeking balance. Balance in work and art and rest. Balance between child self and wise woman self. Balance in relationships.
I feel that I have stolen but a small and precious piece of the world’s enormous
heart. I hold it shakily, tenderly, in grateful and greedy hands. The world
would run off with my entire soul. (Not even a ransom note.) In this, too, I
feel the need to restore balance.
The shadows may be lengthening, but soon the balance will be tipped by Nature, and again the sun will be ascendant. Whether I seek it or not, this balance also will be restored.
Still the clock ticks. Still the
trees strip and the frost spreads across the pane. And still we wait for God to
speak in the most unexpected ways.
Happy birthday to me.
