Out days and in days

There are days when putting energy and ideas out into the world feels easy.

And then there are days when it doesn't.

The "good life" is a matter of following the natural out and in. And not expecting or forcing something different.

Out days need in days for rest and storing up. And in days need out days to release accumulation.

It gets tricky in practice, of course.

Bosses, customers, administrators, and neighbors expect us to show up no matter what.

But the place to start is self acknowledgment:

I'm having an out day...

or

I'm having an in day...

...and the other will come around again shortly.
