Beefing Up on Balance

“It breaks when you don’t force it.
It breaks when you don’t try.”

The above are lyrics from the “Editors” song “Munich” and it’s spinning through my mind on constant rotation.

This band definitely ranks in the “Interpol”/”Radiohead” category of my musical lovers.

And it’s timing couldn’t be more perfect as I try as best as I can to claim my newfound space of harmony, to balance in that sweet spot of reality.

The key is to not force things to their breaking point.
The key is to make bountiful efforts.

The magic happens when the energy glides and hovers in between the two: the perfect balance of belief and effort.

I’ve always had a huge attraction to balance. It really began to present itself in my paintings and, of course, it’s a huge element of story structure. It presents itself in the tattoos and piercings that I put on my body, the glasses and clothes I wear, the manner in which I decorate my living space.

And I can see through the physical, tangible items that I create, I am reflecting back to myself an example of energetic balance.

“Bring it inside and integrate it into your every waking moment.”
