Fire

As writer Judy Brown mentions, a breathing space is needed for fire to burn between the logs.
Balancing life in all areas of our life is the key to to living wisely. Too much or too little can't burn the fire of life. Too much food or too little food intake has an impact on our life energy. How much we eat and what kind of food we eat has a strong impact not only our physical and mental health but also on the environmental well-being. Moderation in all areas of our life. Too much of even a good thing, like eating too much good food can create health problems.

Being born and raised in a simple- living family laid the foundation for moderation in my life. It has taught me how to to create a balance in different areas of my life. My parents taught me when to talk , what to say,  how to talk and when to be quiet. These are the gifts of life that I have received from my parents and I am very grateful to them for such gifts.

Being mindful of what is going in my mind, talking a pause, and decide what is the right thing to do. It's creating a balance between when to between presence and absence. It is learning when to yes and no. What to take in and what to reject. As I have mentioned before this principle applies in all walks of my life.

May we learn the art of balancing our life for our personal life as well as social life.
Namaste!
