About Me
- Traveler
- Life involves an endless reckoning and experimenting with balance. As we learn and experience, the fulcrum shifts, and we find new equilibriums. These two blogs respresent contrasting ends on the balance. Ego leads us through the world, and presents our face to others. But too much ego is vanity, desperation and despair. The sublime, the empty, on the other hand (or the other side of the brain) provides a deep richness, sense of connection and love. Yet it will not feed us, cloth us, and maintain us in the world. Each side can play tricks and appear through illusion. Through the heart, a balance is found.

Very powerful thought. In one of the blogs I visit there was a discussion about people who express the blues in their blogs vs those who never show their humanity in their blogs. I believe that it is our nature to flow with the seasons, and if we do not, then we grow not. If we do not go down deep, like the sap in the tree, in the fall and winter of our time, then we cannot garner strength and wisdom for the growth that will come in the spring, and will be discontent in our summer. We can display a faux personna, but Joy it does not make. What we hide in the closet will still be there when we later open the door.
Wow, shimmerrings, your comments just blow me away.
Here I am trying to write nothing and you've been adding so much "something"! Lovely. I'll do the nothing and you can do the something.
Yikes, thanks, I guess? I sure hope I'm not messing up your nothingness type blog :s I have long winded when I write. My thoughts go much deeper and are much more complex than I can express in two short sentences. I guess I feel I always have to 'splain myself. You are a little bit Zen... and I am a buncha Native American-type spirituality. They do tell long stories, don't they.
