Balance

The good life is the middle way
Between ambition and compassion
Between action and reflection
Between company and solitude
Between hedonism and abstinence
Between passion and judgment
Between the cup of coffee
And the glass of wine.

-- Jay McInerney

Hmm I think…
The good life is the middle way
Between failures and accomplishments
Between illusion and reality
Between constraints and freedom
Between inelegance and grace
Between fate and choice
Between a wild storm and serene sounds of the ocean on a fine day.
