The Scales of Justice

i feel like between now and the last time i posted on here my life has been subjected to an unstable balance beam

so many times have i thrown out the idea of balance and i am now so convinced that it is something i will need to learn about and challenge throughout the course of my entire life!!!

i often get this sensation that i am a little metal pinball and some kind of giant pinball machine is tossing me back and forth between the little flippers and some unseen force is nudging the machine in it's particular preference of direction. then i think that justice, without ever having seen me, tosses my little pinball between her scales and i'm liable to just fly away at that point and never be heard from again.........but she catches me.

and oh yeah to being caught. people can find me, and people can know me, people can love me and people can get annoyed by me, people can think that i bring a smile to their face and people can not stand the presence of me. but no one will ever catch me. will they?

Unless it's one of those pinball machines with multiple pinballs that shoot out and score mad amounts of points when the "one pinball" is caught up temporarily....

You mean like how people can't catch the gingerbread man??
