that elusive balance

Today more then usual I find myself seeking balance.

Seeking people who bring calm and laughter and good conversation

instead of drama and insecurity.

Even the air outside today feels a little unsettled,

like its trying with all its might to rain but hasn't quite made it there yet.

Its somehow a reminder to me to bring balance to my own soul.

To not just get used to living under that

constant cloud of wanting.

In the next few days and weeks I will be seeking it.

I will paint.

Read poems.

Take photographs.

Organize.

Bake bread.
De-clutter.

Write.

I will hold on to reminders.

I will be awake in the quiet and calm of the early morning

and I will spend time with those who uplift and love.

Go do something lovely

on this spring Saturday.
