baby japanese white eye.

she, tiny 
would fit into those plastic easter eggs
she fell from the mango tree
into the grass
i almost stepped on her
squeaking
her mama and daddy screaming nearby
so i let them take care of her
they led her up the tree
she falls again
i watched this happen 
all day
daijoubu kana.....
i dont know how i could have helped her....
 ...click on the photos to see them up close...
love.

Balance is to locate the still point at the center of complexity.
Balance is to be in a constant state of sensitive fine adjustments
Balance requires exquisite sensitivity to inner and outer forces.
Balance requires yielding and resisting, yielding and resisting...
Balance cannot wait
Balance appears spontaneous and improvisational but is utterly responsible and devoted
Balance is thwarted by pretense, also by insistance
Balance knows both this and that and prefers neither
Balance is opportunistic
Balance finds a home anywhere, finds the center everywhere.
"Balanceing" is more like it then "balanced"
balance is a state of mind and body and spirit that manifests itself in the actions of our mind, our bodies , and our spirit.
balance is homeostasis, is dynamic harmony, is ecological well-being
balance is what nature requires, sooner or later, at all scales , of all things, micro and macro

Balance has a flip side= imbalance

imbalance opens the door
imbalance knows excess
imbalance is always immanent, always in the wings
Balance is opportunistic in its own way, imbalance wins by default
imbalance is almost all except for the fraction ceded to balance now and again
imbalance is indolent, achieves by carelessness
imbalance is the child of time
imbalance is what Nature requires, sooner or later at all scales, icro and macro
So is balance 

Imbalance: the sea Balance : the perfect wave
Imbalance: everything over time
Balance: everything outside of time.

old book of music..front and back 

thinking about...


the free will should be one of an individuals most prized possessions.  This is an elementary spriitual concept.  If we were to urge and warn a person continually, or if we were to continually point out their errors and future downfalls, we would be grossly affecting that person's right to choose.  An individual's free will is the one aspect of their spirit that brings about that individual's spiritual advancement or lack of same.  It is vitally imperative that each person retain a strong free will.  When people are led around and constantly told which paths to take. they are not advancing themselves; they are no more then robots. 
Spiritual advancement comes through the tiresome exercise of the free will.  Spritual advancement comes throught the correct choices of that free will and through the long suffering of the physical because of those correct choices.  Spiritual advancement is not a paved road. It is a long suffering and tears, disappointments, and rejections.. You inherently know in your heart if you are walking the trial to advancementor if you are casually strolling down the shaded sidewalk of easy street.   -Mary Summer Rain, Phoenix Rising.
