Balance We need it. Between life and love. Man and God. Man and woman. Work and play. From the most crucial to the exceedingly simple, we must srtike a balance. With out it we will fall (fail). We will shout out to the ever immense blue sky, "What has happened?" Almost nothing works without compromise, and if we cannot see both sides of an issue, cannot put ourselves in the footsteps of others, this cry will become our song of life. Balance will keep you sane, while too much of anything leads to the rooms of ruin.Too much love, too much money, too much work, too much stress, too many needs, too many wants. All of this leads to those rooms of ruin. Balance will keep you standing in face of disease, hardships and evils you thought you left in the boogeyman's closet. That apparition may still be there, but know that you can fight. On the bike, running a trail, standing next to death, the key is (and always is) Balance.

I lived about a mile form this balanced rock, and when I would jog past it I would think of what I could do to bring my life into balance. Trial and error is what teaches me. I've wasted more time than I care to remember, but I keep pushing on to accept and embrace this balance. I think it's good, all good.

Welcome to my Universe,
