11.21.16 Renewal, the way of it.

     We humans experience this glitch, where we forget the aspects of life that will always necessitate renewal. Readdressing. This is true of all aspects of life. 
     Once we find some balance in some area of life, personal or political; (PEMS : physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) we learn to reaffirm ourselves to those actions that rebalance, again and again. 
     Whether it be our own daily habits , our efforts for equality and justice for all, the floors of our home or the care of our teeth.
      All things ebb and flow. And all things can be brought more into balance. But they do not necessarily remain there.
    Part of our daily life becomes that understanding, that remembering. That forgetting.          And then that remembering, again.
     So we don't feel surprised each time things slip out of balance. To maintain balance we teach ourselves to address these aspects of life daily, as a puja, as a rejuvenating nourishing habit.
     Our emotional balance. Our physical balance. Our clear powerful connection with ourselves, with others, and the Divine.
     Whatever efforts we make for social and economic justice and equity will have results that ebb and flow. Accomplishments will come to be,and then be eroded. The building up and the disintegrating away.
     This we learn and then forget every day. This we teach ourselves to bring into us every day. This is the way of it.
