Bacteria

Look at bacteria.

Over time we create an equilibrium with them

where both of us co-exist alongside one another; and it’s a constant battle for supremacy; the boundaries are always changing, always fluctuating.

And sometime we’ll win a small victory.

And sometimes they’ll win a victory.

but in the end both sides need each other; they are the same thing.

And that’s how everyday life and relationships can be. You can only push out so far with your eyes and ears and your brain; like pushing your hands away from you in a pool to make a splash.

For a few brief moments, you’ve cleared the area in front of you of water. This is when things are going great; those quick glimpses of the beauty of life. It’s when you’ve set it all up to create a clearing, or maybe you haven’t done anything at all and things just fell into place in front of you.
