When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don’t let yourself go, everybody cries
and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong.
Now it’s time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you’ve had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts.
Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts.
Don’t throw your hand. Oh, no.
Don’t throw your hand.
If you feel like you’re alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you’re on your own in this life,
the days and nights are long,
when you think you’ve had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.

Balance and being whole. Balance is more than just balancing events and emotions within our lives. Balance is about finding the balance of our feminine and masculine. The balance of energies. Until we reach that point we search for that balance outside of our Self. Although we are complete as we are, we may be suppressing aspects of our Self.
I’m not talking males and females but those aspects of the masculine and feminine within.
Let’s use an example. If we are denying our Self of our masculine aspects, we will seek that in another. Is that why some women (or men) wind up drawing controlling, dominating relationships into their lives? To balance out their nurturing, gentle side? And in doing so, fulfilling the suppressed feminine side of the other as well? This isn’t balance, or love, this is co-dependency.

Here you will find weekly forecasts, inspiring and spiritual writings. Desire is a great post about conscious creation, staying in the present and learning from the lessons that present themselves to us.
“Preconceived notions, dogmas, and all personal prejudice and bias must be laid aside. Listen patiently, quietly, and reverently to the lessons, one by one, which Mother Nature has to teach, shedding light on that which was before a mystery, so that all who will, may see and know. She conveys her truths only to those who are passive and receptive. Accepting these truths as suggested, wherever they may lead, then we have the whole universe in harmony with us. At last man has found… that he is part of a universe which is eternally unstable in form, eternally mutable in substance.” ~Luther Burbank
In one of my earlier posts, The Seesaw, I compare the seesaw to finding balance within our daily life.
As we fight to maintain balance within our lives we create chaos and disrupt the natural tendency for our life to find its own balance. A balance in life needs the ups and downs. Do we really want our lives to be in perfect balance?
This is a great little film that won the Oscar for Best Animated Short in 1990. Watch what happens as life gradually balances itself, to fighting for balance, to achieving perfect balance. (There is a little in there about ‘careful what you ask for’ and greed as well).
Balance and being whole. Balance is more than just balancing events and emotions within our lives. Balance is about finding the balance of our feminine and masculine. The balance of energies. Until we reach that point we search for that balance outside of our Self. Although we are complete as we are, we may be suppressing aspects of our Self.
