“balanced man” june 19, 1991 3:00pm

the balanced man takes whatever is in his stride of equilibrium and measure: consumes only what he can digest……………………………………..

what about the unbalanced man: balance is what he can not, consumes each inch around him and measure is not in his vocabulary; except when inches determine what he must create and build next. is this man empty of spirit; not religious; not whole? does he not make the paths of travel for himself; is his heart the navigator of his being or is he of shallow mind which is non-illuminated and non-productive? is this man terrified….slipping away from the light into darkness, from seen to the unseen and is he a man who does not have war with or within himself? is he the man who realizes the deeper process of his inward convictions; that truth is a paradox and that he is a refugee in the world in which he lives? does his freedom derive from balance, discipline and the illumination of life’s experiences? can he stand alone, be his own healer and not be horrified, paralyzed or assaulted about his aloneness? is this man afraid to step out of the “middle ages” and enter and make known his awareness in the new “age”! does this man understand crucifixion, what the differences are between it being understood symbolically, from literally..does he? and does he have unlimited circulation of his mind, his heart, his life; everything? and does this man test himself; and from his awareness does he sleep more soundly; does he get beyond phantasy and dreams once he awakens…….does he?????_{dialogue inspired: henry miller;   “wisdom of the heart” references to; from; by; e. graham howe}
