Perfection is not achieved in this realm, but the striving strengthens us and brings peace and harmony into our lives. The joy must be in the Journey, not simply in reaching the goal.<BR/><BR/>I wish you peaceZarebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036285066771181559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682364.post-22621879107983958372007-10-14T23:21:00.000-03:002007-10-14T23:21:00.000-03:00Thanks Don.

Life has been large but it seems to be settling down a bit now.Balance is a goal to be saught, but with the knowledge that it is a state we can not remain in, only visit at the bottom of each pendulum swing.Zarebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036285066771181559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682364.post-36394307886480805502007-10-14T23:19:00.000-03:002007-10-14T23:19:00.000-03:00Thank you Kelly.

If you lose that, there's often a tacit and sometimes explicit notion that the cause of your illness is an imbalanced mind and spirit!<BR/><BR/>In reality, the three are indeed interrelated, but not in that simplistic way. Obviously anyone can lose their physical health through contact with viruses, drunk drivers, the unfolding of chance genetic combinations over which we have no control . . . many many things whose onset has nothing to do with the state of our inner lives.<BR/><BR/>Balance, where physical health is compromised, has to do with the mind and spirit coming to terms with what has happened to the body. Indeed, the mind and spirit can become sharper and healthier even as the body degenerates.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770384445526387065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682364.post-27113950025517601762007-10-07T08:51:00.000-03:002007-10-07T08:51:00.000-03:00Balance is the key.

I can tell I will be visiting here alot. :)<BR/>Every so often someone comes into our lives at the precise moment they are meant to, and I think you are one of those people. I know I will enjoy reading what you've written. <BR/>I love the comment you left on my page, especially the part where you said: // I have always said that I follow my path with a light and a mirror, the light to illuminate the path at our feet and a mirror to reflect other's truth back to them. I also try to walk with one hand stretched out ahead to receive help over the roughest parts, and one behind to help others who meay need it.//<BR/><BR/>That is so well put, that I wish I would have thought of it. :)<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful journey new friend. I will be back soon.KeKehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738589450243176241noreply@blogger.com
