Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. Rumi

How do we tip the scales so there is balance
what must we add what must we take away
is the answer found in some mysterious talent
How do we judge what is considered equal
sunlight is just as beautiful as moonlight
which is more majestic a condor or eagle
How do we create stability in a world of madness
can hate be taken away with a bit more love
will happiness tip the weight of sadness
Perhaps, equilibrium starts within oneself
living in the state of now, brings steadiness
filling the heart with purpose, finding yourself
written for Sherry's prompt on balance
What's Going On? Finding Balance
You had me at the Rumi quote. No words are truer. I resonate with this poem, especially in living in the state of now, which gives us a firmer platform to stand upon than the politics of the day afford us. Though I am feeling very much more hopeful than I was!!!!!!
ReplyDelete'finding yourself' is perhaps the best way to face life with balance.
ReplyDelete"sunlight is just as beautiful as moonlight

We can't balance the world but we can balance ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of equilibrium starting within oneself. From there, one can hope it will spread. Lovely writing, Truedessa.
ReplyDeleteI reckon hate can never be taken away in a world of man. But in each person's little corner of the world, there's hope. As you say....to balance ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI love the questions you so eloquently raise and your wise conclusion - Jae
