"Harmony is the inner cadence of contentment we feel when the melody of life is in tune. When somehow we're able to strike the right cord to balance the expectations of our families and our responsibilities in the world on one hand with our inner needs of spiritual growth and personal expression on the other. This is one of the most difficult challenges any woman (man) faces because it requires us to make choices every day. And yet most of us often feel too tired to choose anything more than what to have for dinner." Sarah Ban Breathnach
Life is in the choices we choose...and remember the old saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
It then seems, that in order to have balance; we need to play for as many hours we work.
And to make it half of our life's work to do things for your Inner Needs.
To put that on the list and be as conscientious as if it were a Job.
I bet, if we start paying attention to our choices and see that there are two distinct categories, one being for the expecations family and job....and the other self, we will see what parts we are overfeeding.
Deepak Chopra used to end his hour long radio show with, "Keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground."
To keep our imaginations and playfulness alive...while keeping up with our responsiblities.
I have my yoga room heating....and then off to work....but, I will end this day in the company of Ladies and Art Quilts. Harmony is in our choices.
