Thick, heavy, frayed, knotted and coiled – much like how many of us feel at times due to varying degrees of gluttony, inactivity, stress and uncertainty. Pulled too tight and we’re constricted, restricted and unable to move in any direction. Yet, too much slack and we’re rudderless, with no motivation or intent to do much of anything. We flounder and stagnate in the process.
Finding that balance, that middle ground, to reach a place of agreeable tension – a propulsion of sorts – can be both challenging and reassuring. And quite necessary to our growth as individuals as we work toward finding our way in the world.
Very well put Julie! And very true!
Thanks, Andy. My first thought was to provide an appropriate quote to accompany the photo and then I realized I needed to write about what grabbed me about this image in the first place. Always – or usually anyway! – the better approach. 🙂
Most definitely Julie 🙂 And you were definitely right with this post!
Thanks, again. Very much appreciated.
If it weren’t for the ends, there would be no middle. A good lesson for us to find balance in our lives. I subscribe to the theory that we need chaos and calm in order to find the peace within.
