Some people seem to live on the edge of a precipice
where drama and ill health plague them
For me life is easier on the flat plains
where dreams and purpose can flow
Adventures abound without those false highs
which helps to avoid plummeting to the extreme lows
With no need to conform or indulge materialism
comfortable being myself with a strong disposition
Have no interest in living on that knife edge
calmness my companion, please come down from the ledge?
Daily Prompt: Precipice
aroused 
I can so relate to the knife edge, and the rest, of course, but the knife edge, so much of my life.

Sort of, I see light at the end of this new tunnel, which is not mine strictly speaking, but those I know and love and who I journey with.

I’m with you! Living on the flat plains, no drama, no emotional roller coasters, fostering peace and calm. 🙂 Even during the storms of life we can find joy and peace and hope. Maybe this ability comes with age, or life experiences… ??? I see too many young adults whose lives are in chaos. 😦
HUGS!!! 🙂

I’m not a living on the edge sort of person either! I prefer the security of the flat places, and will happily make my own adventures there.

There are people who plan and do things according to their wish but unfortunately
I am not a free bird. With every step I take I think about the responsibilities on my shoulder. Oh dear life is not a piece of cake 🙂
