Ying Yang with a Bang

....it's this idea of energy again. I was walking yesterday and in my head I could see how it's passed around. Sometimes someone has a lot of it and they're happy, or they have too little and they're sad and it's these people who are the extremes that are constantly pulling toward each other to level out.

There is no constant to the energy. High days. Low days. it's the absence of high days that drive -people to insanity. Finding a good group that will give & take; equal out the flow of energy is essential. In the absence of such a network, there is surely no way to gain stability alone. Few of us are self-sustaining energy houses. (And if we are....we're the ones that are needed to seek out and supply those without.)

Even vexations are present so that they may take something away. What if they never did? How much more terribly vexing could they be. It is this truth that causes pause and a knowledge that I am not fully prepared to undertake. I understand more than I want to.

And all this came from the smile of a child who said, "Hi" as I walked by him and his mother.
