In the Balance

Push and pull. Action and Reaction. The rhythm and measure of breath. In and Out. The inhalation and exhalation separated by a point of transition, the point of tension, the point of change, the connection between two states, between life and death. It is a millisecond that separates us from earth and the unknown, the unknowable. This is where drama lives, in this point where we wonder. Wonder. Will life continue? Will balance be maintained? What is the alternative? Chaos? Will we fall or can we stay in a state of suspended energy, in a state of suspension? Whatever the outcome, we can only exist in relation to others. The other provides our framework, our reason for being, our anchor in space and time. We are all connected even though we may not always feel a connection. We need each other to provide meaning. We need each other to give our lives story. We need each other to keep us balanced in the dramatic push and pull of it all.
