The pendulum swings, and another moment grows into minutes. The passage of time has little effect on anything, other than the comparisons of today versus yesterday. The edges of our extremes grow outward, as the excitement of the day, the compulsions, fears and wants, push emotions into overdrive.
Happy or sad? Give me content!

The near completion of another cycle, the full swing of highs and lows, the trip from obsession to contentment and back again, brings on the revelation, that the pendulum… the perfect icon of extremes… of bi-polar… of unstable... is also a perfect definition of consistency. Black or white? Give me gray!

Fast and far or slow and steady! When will we learn to sit back and ride the tide… let the swing show where we fit between the poles of opposites… Feel what we feel, instead of what we think we should feel! Love – Hate! Boredom – Excitement! Intensity – Apathy! There is no reason to try and slow the swing. Time takes time! Control or chaos? Give me faith!

The pendulum swings, and another day begins. Today is what we make it… or better yet – what we allow it to be! The ups and downs, the mood swings, the extremes in our lives… they are the constant! The quest for balance, a driving force in my life, has been present all along! The swing is life!
Balance or extremes? Give me life!
