A Delicate Balance

Writings

My life, like most, is a delicate balance. Experience has shown me that each of us is involved in a balancing act all the time. Like the man with the spinning plates. Very often it is quite easy to get the plates in the air and spinning. The work begins when we try to keep them there...

? Of Love?

If hate is what it is,
and desire what it seems,
then are we in love?

Is that which happens between us, enough?
Enough, to keep us in the lean and lonely times.
Enough, to keep us when temptation wanders by?
Enough, to satiate the sadness and make serene the madness of trying to be in love?

If hate is what it seems,
and desire what is,
then are we in love?

Is that which makes us stay side by side,
Seeking, searching to make enjoyable our time,
yes, our time, one, two, three decades of time.
Enough to stand the test of time?

If hate is what it is,
and desire what it seems,
then, we are in love.

Expectations

For yourself keep them realistic and attainable...

For your children keep them high but in tune to their potential...

For everyone else do not expect that which you know can not be delivered...
