Ahhh, if only there was an in between, a place to balance the scale between extremes. I certainly don't have it figured out. So I get up, and try, and fall, and get up, and try again.
I guess the best thing for me is to meditate on both the flower and garbage, and bless them both for teaching me something.
And it takes a hefty dose of perceptiveness, spiced with self-awareness, to be able to utter such with composure, as you have done and uttered here. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ^_^

But, that's a sad thought.
