I could pretend that this in my head because of the destruction of the planet - sadness at how we've treated Mother Earth. It would be true, but it would be a lie. It is really the meaning of the title that runs through my head these days. Life out of Balance. Life in turmoil. Crazy Life.
What I go through in life is miniscule in the grand scheme of things. The world it far-too littered with stories much harsher and harder to stomach than my own small piece of turmoil. But I've come to understand that this is still my reality, and it is what affects me the most. So whether it is measely or not, I do have to pay attention to it. Simply comparing situations and moving on doesn't help me out of the hole at all. All it does is make me feel guilty. Well screw that, you know?
One of my "friends" on facebook had the nerve to make a joke after I'd posted a note regarding my mother. I am talking about having to leave a poor, defenseless 80 year old woman with advanced Alzheimer's (aka my mother) all by herself, and this asshat is making some stupid f-ing comment about sexy hot babes. There are times when lightening the mood is cool, and times when you just end up being a shithead.
So I am Koyaanisqatsi. And I'm just a small part of a gigantic Life out of Balance.
Life all around us is in turmoil.
