&lt;br /&gt;
I found a dozen decades old journals the other night that had been hiding in a box on a basement shelf. As I skimmed through hundreds of pages of deep thoughts and passionate opinions, it felt like I was reading someone else’s diaries. I had no memory of writing them and only scattered resonance with the ideas and opinions expressed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although there’s a correlation between the person I am today and the author of those journals, if I could teleport through time and meet him, the only thing in common would be our name, shared memories and a passing resemblance.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BotgirlsSecondLifeDiary/~4/grPrUj3bip0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2013-05-06T05:53:46.894-07:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.botgirl.com/2013/05/self-centered.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Joyous Travelers</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BotgirlsSecondLifeDiary/~3/vhrrIOm1Y3k/joyous-travelers.html</link><category>machinima</category><category>shatoetry</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Botgirl Questi)</author><pubDate>Wed, 01 May 2013 10:55:14 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329817540513850224.post-1310670163493983762</guid><description>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/65240823" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The art of balance is all about managing weight. At first thought, taking on the lightest possible load seems the best strategy. It’s not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gravity requires sufficient mass to ground us within its stabilizing embrace. Without enough well-arrayed ballast, a stray gust of wind would send us flying topsy turvy; a passing fancy could shanghai us into insensible service; or a glancing blow from the hand of fate might knock us down into dark despair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over time, a well-weighted garland of burdens strengthens the will, opens the heart and fosters an equilibrium that’s immune to misfortune or boon.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BotgirlsSecondLifeDiary/~4/QpsesN5HmK4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2013-05-01T08:05:00.924-07:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.botgirl.com/2013/05/the-art-of-balance.html</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
