A subject I’m not an expert on, admittedly… I’ve been thinking a lot about balance today. An evening walk along the shore sparked yet another musing (one of many while I’m at the sea).

I’ve always been one to value groundedness and stability, yet I have always found myself envying those without the ties that bind (a lease, furniture, mortgage, etc.). The freedom I’ve known is that of financial freedom (for the most part)… yet in having things, I find myself fettered.

As I walked along the shore, I was struck by the beautiful coexistence of water and earth… of freedom and groundedness together in every moment. The water doesn’t try to change the nature of the earth, and the sand so easily goes with the flow. They both just are.

Can stability and freedom coexist like the sand and the sea?

Can providence and peace live in the same household? I would most certainly love to find the answer to be “yes”.
