Falling Short

with one comment

Strings of random electrons that turn out to be not so random often lead me to create something out of what I thought was absolutely nothing and I have been known to exclaim to Cyndie that absolutely nothing is precisely all I’ve got when I have been sitting in front of my computer for an extended period of time. Some weird law of the universe seems to have it that the times it most seems like I’ve got nothin’ just happen to be the very times that real gems will materialize. Sometimes I just need to get out of the way.

You never know what is going to happen next. Conversely, if I try too hard, or find that I have developed certain expectations for a result, the outcome has a high probability of falling short.

It’s a balancing act. Isn’t everything? We are all some version of the tight rope walker.

I’m not sure why I insist on practicing with my eyes closed.

May you find yourself in complete balance today, without needing to try hard at all. A real gem just might materialize for you, when you least expect it.
