Do you remember those days when you were little and would head to the playground to have some fun on the swings, seesaws, and rocking horses? The seesaw was my favorite but for some reason, when we go there it was almost always broken. Once repaired though, I would encourage my cousin to seesaw with me. It needs at least two persons for the see to saw and the weight has to be fairly equally balanced. You never want your seat to hit the ground because that could turn out to be quite painful. When everything is balanced, you can then enjoy the movement of the seesaw, riding its waves and troughs.
Sometimes life feels like a seesaw. And there is no equanimity in its ups and downs. The ups become periods when we are so scared anticipating the down that we do not enjoy them and then the downs are down. We feel depressed and disheartened. And heaven forbid that during a down the seat actually hits the ground, we feel the pain ricocheting through our entire world, further preventing us from even seeing the up from that position.
But you know, the seesaw always rises back up as long as there is an equal balancing force on the other end.
Many of us, we do not allow ourselves to feel the counterbalancing weight of Universal Energy, pressing down from the other side and encouraging us to rise again. We stop ourselves from experiencing the love that coaxes us to look up, lift our feet off the ground, and trust that all will be well. The universe has our backs. Always.
So as we ride the seesaw of life, let us accept and embrace life’s vicissitudes. When we are up, we revel in the up and do not think of the down but live in the joyous moments of uptitude.
When life causes us to experience the down moments, we rest in the knowledge that we do not have to stay down for too long; that we are loved and protected; that our down moments are only to heighten the pleasures that come from our up moments.
All we need to do is to look to the opposite side and feel the force of Source Energy as it gently raises us every time.
