Thanks, Pat.

Thanks, Deb.

I’m sympathetic. Sudden losses leaving holes in my world seem to be coming at me with increasing frequency these days . . . as I write this, I am awaiting funeral information for a good colleague, and further info about the approaching end of a relative’s cancer battle. Not to mention close friends dealing with physical and mental challenges that seem to have come on so suddenly.

I also have to add that I was struck by how beautifully crafted this blog post is, around the theme of balance, from the carefully chosen photo to the many changes you ring on that word in your prose. I especially like the insight that balance is not a static state, but an on-going process of adjustment. Perhaps peace of mind comes with appreciating that process rather than seeking stasis.
