Awareness and Silence are two friends shaping my life into balance.  Both are needed in order for learning and process.  Exposed to teachers, my understanding gains depth only as I pay attention.  I need to be aware of the information being shown to me ... through language, nature, or dreams.

To be balanced means to be informed but not overly saturated.  "Yes, this is true," I quietly survey,, "but now I must return to the point of the moment."  No extremes, no drama, just awareness and silence maintains my presence in this physical life.  See it, and then let it go ...
