Tattoo - Balance
Thank you to Robben for sharing his tattoo and story.
This balance tattoo, is the first tattoo I got in my leg, then after the balance of ombra (darkness) and Luca (light), then the game (chess), the balance for ‘vivere’ (life) and the opposite, morte (death) and other tattoos followed.
For me, balance is important for the soul and I think its very difficult for a person to have balance because societal pressure is strong for a man and woman.
Soul balance is the secret to a person, its the most important thing in life.
It is possible to be happy with a balanced soul.
What is balance to you?
For me, balance is a good moment, I look at good moments and remember them and they help me get through the bad moments.
For example, a good experience in my soul, if one day is difficult or challenging but I can remember a good day and experiences, it helps with my energy and a balanced situation.
When we spoke, Robben had just walked the Camino de Santiago, the best experience in his life which began at St Jean Pied de Pont, ending in Santiago but continued to Finisterre with a view of the ocean, making the distance walked 900km, an incredible achievement, one which we talked about at length and was such a cool conversation.
It took 35 days and each day was spent with a new person and culture.
After the camino, I was alone for 3 or 4 days and was a little sad but then I remembered, ‘Oh, I just walked the camino where I spent 35 days with someone new everyday and 3 or 4 days alone is ok, life is good, it’s not sad and it put things into perspective and balanced everything out.
A few questions
What is balance to you? Is your life balanced and in what way? And have you ever walked the camino because I am seriously considering it now.
