For Equilibrium, a Blessing:Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore, May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul. As the wind loves to call things to dance, May your gravity by lightened by grace. Like the dignity of moonlight restoring the earth, May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect. As water takes whatever shape it is in, So free may you be about who you become. As silence smiles on the other side of what's said, May your sense of irony bring perspective. As time remains free of all that it frames, May your mind stay clear of all it names. May your prayer of listening deepen enoughto hear in the depths the laughter of god. . John Odonohue
About This Quote

The idea of Equilibrium is to be at peace with yourself and with the things around you. To learn to see yourself as a part of something bigger, where the past has no power over you, who you are in the present is constantly changing, but your understanding of who you are doesn't have to constantly change.
