Bittersweet Song of Life - Equilibrium

Songs have a final note, vacations have a flight home, flowers wither, ice cream has calories, monopoly has "go to jail", sunsets become darkness, love has a final kiss.

I used to be such an optimist (and even though to some extent, I still am) I'm searching for the balance between positivism and realism, idealism and rationalism - and the beauty of the bittersweet.

I've recently been thinking about balance and I've decided to stop drinking alcohol for 3 months. March 18-June 18. But not because it's wrong but because it can be. Not because it's in control but because you have to know and feel you're in control - know with your mind and feel with your heart. I want to be able to say "no" with the same certainty with which I say "yes."

This is my attempt at equilibrium: It's been quite a beautiful journey since June but He's just getting started...

Thanks for listening. KL.
