Balance

 

The cool breeze falls upon my face as I push my feet off the ground enjoying the splendor of the sun. I quickly fall as there is but a feather floating slowly back onto the opposite seat of the seesaw. The seesaw is symbolic of the balance of life. There is a time for everything in life. With two proportionate people, one can be lifted and fall gracefully; enjoying the summer sun as it transitions to the evening sky filled with the stars.

Think of the balance that creates a perfect moment for sitting on the seesaw. Rising and falling, a feather will not give you the sensation of flying high in the sky, extending your arms as if a bird.

Include delectable morsels in this metaphorical exploration of the balance of life. There are times when indulgent behavior can be enjoyable. As with the feather on the opposite side of the seesaw, perhaps indulging in cake alone may not taste as sweet as celebrating with a friend. To fully immerse yourself in a mouth-watering experience you must do so at the right time; balancing indulgent moments in your life.

 

Sweets, cakes, extravagance … see yourself as light as the feather floating alone then see yourself immersed in the atmosphere attached to the tail of a Red Tail Hawk. You’re soaring above the world in ecstasy but would not be able to fully balance in the sky without the addition of the rest of the red tail feathers. Enjoy life in moderation and at the right time. For now, Let’s eat some cake.
