From the Idiosyncradeck, the Two of Stones; from the Mixed Emotions deck, Safe:
Normal is an ideal. But it’s not reality.
― Tara Kelly
Looking closely at these stacked stones, they hardly seem balanced - some big, some small and a few completely off center. But standing back and viewing them as a whole, it's easy to realize that they are arranged for stability. Life is the same way at times, and reminds me of the advice I was given when I first had a baby: "When she naps, you nap. Don't worry about the dishes in the sink or a messy house. You won't have to wait 18 years to get those things done." We balance things out in ways that might look haphazard but actually work for us in our situation. Safe suggests not only physical safety, but also mental and emotional well-being. Just because it doesn't seem sane or normal to other people doesn't mean it isn't useful or beneficial for us.
