Swinging Past, Baby

Came across a great John Mellencamp lyric, from "Between a Laugh and a Tear".

"I know there's a balance/I see it when I swing past."

I often feel like I am veering from one extreme to another, all the while lurching out to try and grab some sort of balance.

Not necessarily balance as in normalcy. But balance to satisfy my own definition and fit within my life's blueprint.

By the way, my life's blueprint is lost. Searching for it is like investing in an archaeological dig.

It is out there somewhere, buried in dust and stone and dirt and gravel, dry like a desert.

When I find it, delicate piece of parchment that it is, I will frame it on the wall in front of me and supplicate myself before it.
