Looking for Balance

I’m looking for balance and unity, but everywhere I look, things seem to be polarized and spinning out of control. Maybe it is because I’m not very balanced myself right now. I long for long distance hiking where I’m forced into balance by nature. On the trail everything seems to flow along just fine. I wake up when the sun comes up and go to bed shortly after it goes down. Food intake equals energy output because a backpack can only hold so much food. There is a natural rhythm that comes from hiking that leads to a meditative state that sooths the soul. I am a part of my surroundings and at peace within myself and with all around me. I have decided I need to take better care of me and bring my life back into balance. Today is a good day to start. I will try to find a rhythm for my off trail life. One place I like to go for balance is the True Tao Home Page
