There is a well-known poem on the Roman Fountain by C.F. Meyer, which he published in 1882. It is relatively short and describes how the water of a fountain goes from one bowl to the next. So a giving and taking, a flowing and resting. It sounds so gentle and balanced. Perhaps it is, too, when you watch the water play. But what you can't see, or hardly see, is the considerable energy that brings the stream of water upwards in the first place, so that this balanced, almost stoic flow can take place. It does not happen by itself. An external power source is necessary. I think it is the same with us humans: simply out of ourselves we cannot live our lives in this world in a balanced way, giving and taking, flowing and resting. We also need an inner source of power that balances, gives energy for this balance and works constantly and reliably. What is that in your life?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
