Rambling on... again..

Life seems to be full of these balancing acts, na? some of them larger than life and some so tiny that till u pay attention u wont even realise that you're really balancing between two different and mostly contrasting pulls on you. And for what its worth - the resolutions of these contrasting forces is pretty much the sum total of what we as people are all about!!! Some recent ones - - Boss' priority on a project vs what i think is priority on my own job list!
