The bow that is always strung will break.
- Proverb

Reflection of the day

The bow is like our mind, like our body, like our soul. If we keep it constantly under tension, if we expect ourselves to always perform, always be present, always be 'right'. . . sooner or later, something breaks. Not because we are weak. It breaks because life isn't meant to be lived under constant pressure. Nature designed us for rhythm - tension and release, action and rest.

Yet we live as if we must always 'pull the string,' as if only effort has value. But it's in the letting go, in allowing ourselves a pause, in the not-doing . . . that we truly renew ourselves.

A bow that wants to shoot well must return to its natural shape. And so must we. If we want to live well, we must learn to be, not just to do. To let go, not just to hold on. To breathe, without trying to control everything.

Only then, the bow doesn't break. And our life . . . finds harmony.
