What is harmony?
An image that comes to my mind is two summers ago, me sitting on the balcony eating breakfast and reading National Geographic. The rest of the family was away for a few days. I was alone and needed to care for none other’s business but my own.
That is my image of harmony. And when I feel I’m up to my ears with other things than writing that is the day I keep thinking about; those hours of being in Heaven.
But it is nothing I thrive for as the ideal state of mind and body.
For a few hours, yes. Or maybe even days. But more? No. I would be a lazy, fat meatball within a week or two.
I believe in harmony in small doses.
It can be as small dose as a minute of beautiful sunrise when the bus crosses the bridge. Or a silent moment during a snowfall an early morning.
In times of chaos or stress, I try to feed myself on those little moments.
I don’t mean that life should be completely chaotic, but harmony for me is a moment of perfect balance.
And as nice as it may be, it does not bring life forwards.

Harmony is when the universe is happy.
Interesting idea. Is the Universe some form of life itself?
Well that's part of my belief system now but I challenge and change what I believe many times in a year of my life.
I try not to project my belief system on to others as that can destroy harmony.
Thank you for sharing.
