Equilibrium
31 Ways to Stay Balanced on Life’s Uneven Surfaces
Thirty-one is an odd number.
That is how life is. Odd. Not even or simple or predictable.
Estimated time of arrival is just that, it is estimated. Expectations are not always met.
I want a balanced and structured plan. I want to stick with the plan and complete it. I want to then move on to the next plan and complete it. Early. Successfully.

We live a dark and confusing world. Maxwell’s prose and his poetry are just the antidote you’ve been looking for—creative, a bit capricious, and wonderfully uplifting.
