Happy anniversary to you and your beautiful bride!!
I played several instruments as a kid and do appreciate harmony, when the proper notes, instruments, and timing come together--not always in equal parts.
My chemistry and engineering classes have taught me to view balance in a different way, or at least that's what I've taken away from them. It's not always equal parts that lead to equilibrium, but specific circumstances.
While the atoms cannot be created or destroyed and do equal each other, the unique parts, or ratios of each are different, that is you need twice as much hydrogen as oxygen to get water other wise equal parts of hydrogen and oxygen give you hydrogen peroxide. Same in engineering. A balance point isn't always 50/50.
It's a good day, a good Sunday as I've gotten up before everyone else and been able to enjoy listening to you and your wisdom and experiences that have lead to that wisdom. Work-life balance needs to be redefined and you and your book may just be the way as evidenced by being at the too of that category.
One of the early and root words of harmony is concert, as in concert with one another. Your marvelous description of atoms and specific circumstances described a splendid concert in physics.
So glad you had an early start and shared your wisdom in return! I wish you an amazing week as well.
You brought a smile to my face with the word concert, as the "in concert with" phrase popped into my head and reminded me of shenanigans I partook in as a younger man.
Oh! Saw my reply highlighted here🙂. Glad it touched you in some way. It is these memories, stories and events that make a life… wishing you as your wife rich years ahead…
I love the irony of your book being at the top of work/life balance ! May that lure many unsuspecting workaholics into their Ikigai❣️
Congruence is also a word I have loved for the past couple decades. Whenever I couldn’t make up my mind about a thing (for or against, wear it or not, join or not) I would ask myself this one question to gain more insight: Is this congruent with who I want to be and become?
Harmony is my favorite part of music. You know how there are beautiful pieces of music, and pieces of music that touch every cell of your body. The ones with complex harmonies are the ones that do that. Those are the one that make me stop and listen.

I love the distinction between harmony and balance! That is something I can work with, thanks
It is so freeing, Malka.

I so enjoyed your story I had to share it!

"May that lure many unsuspecting workaholics into their Ikigai." I love that 'devious but for their own good' thinking.
As to congruent, I love that exploration!
