What do you do to recharge?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 01, 2007:

P4300003-1
I perform a magical balancing act.

I can find reward in almost any experience, and can find even the most rewarding experiences exhausting if I'm caught up in them past my saturation point.

The structure of my life is stacked with the responsibilities, obligations, tasks, chores, and problem-solving that can, sometimes surprisingly, be fun in their own right, but past my saturation point become a jumbled, collapsing facade that just gets in the way of the wild parts of me inside the form.

My goal is to tend the structure enough to hold it all together and simultaneously feed the exhuberant things so that they grow in a fertile place. A lot of times I succeed.

When either thing becomes overwhelming, either the tending or the wilding, my answer is to restore the balance of the universe and do something that is completely not-that, whatever "that" is at the moment:  too much socializing calls out for solitude, too much attention to detail begs for the big picture decorated with loose ends, too much free play needs some time puttering around with chores.

There is no one thing because there is no one imbalance - I excel in doing nearly anything to excess and also, luckily for me, at seeking out the balancing points in my life. 

Usually the magic trick works.
