Edward's This or That Vol 31 Contest <> March 24, 2025
We all have moments when happiness rings true When everything seems to finally be going right No nimbus clouds to spoil blue skies or the view until fate steps in and our lives turn dark as night. What efforts we've made to stay in balance is lost. No matter what we try, harmony does not prevail and life is stressful, for hardship comes with a cost. So, we need a counterweight that will tip the scale To use a simple analogy, think of a teeter totter ride where balance keeps us from landing on the ground. The ups and downs we face are very difficult to abide. What will keep us standing? Where can it be found? With a positive attitude we can begin in heart and mind when they battle over things on which they don't agree. Not an easy task to keep them harmonized and aligned. When they struggle for power, it can end in catastrophe. A bit of faith may lead to symmetry and set things right. Nature handless it perfectly with its seasonal changing, and like migratory birds on feathered wings that take flight, tipping the balance in our favor can work with rearranging.
