A Mixed Bag

I seek balance between celebrating life’s greatest moments that get tempered with the innate sadness that stems from seeing those I love suffer.

The two faces of life can be so drastically opposite. So unfair on one hand, yet so beautiful on the other. Thomas Merton, a Trappist Monk, a brilliant philosopher and one of my favorite authors captured the essence of life perfectly,

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.”

I so desperately seek that elusive balance, and wish that you too find happiness and harmony in your hearts and in your minds.
