On the Easel - Contemplating Balance

Small Study
oil paint on 4 by 6 inch panel


balance is strange

the more I look

the less I understand


a structure

 a building

 in fighting gravity

achieves balance


 a losing battle

we need such structures

for our lifetime not the structures life


achieving balance involves a struggle

for space in our heart

of opposites

but 

the mind 

it craves symmetry

that is not really balance

Symmetry doesn't move

there is no struggle

no compromise

no life
