Balance – Reflections

“I’d learned enough about grieving to know that other ways of feeling would come back soon enough. But it seemed to me that this was the way we all lived: full to the brim with gratitude and joy one day, wrecked on the rocks the next. Finding the balance between the two was the art and the salvation.” ― Elizabeth Berg
Has finding a balance between grief and joy felt like salvation to you?

“There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life.” ― Alain de Botton
When has being unbalanced in life felt right, or necessary?

“The ingredients of both darkness and light are equally present in all of us.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert
When has lightness or darkness felt out of balance within you?

“To light a candle is to cast a shadow…” ― Ursula K. Le Guin
When has your light cast a shadow? When has the light of someone else cast a shadow on you?
