Penny Farthing Balancing Act 

Picture
At the Dickens Festival there were at least two fellows in Victorian garb riding the old-fashioned bicycyles with the large wheel in front and a small wheel in back.  The large wheel I presume is for support, the small for balance.  These bikes were called "penny-farthings" because they kind of resembled the old British coins of the time of the same name.  One of course as the comparison implies, was much larger than the other.  And one, I must draw conclusion to, supported the other.

A true balancing act.

So that makes me realize that it is not unlike our experience of life.  The little things balance the large happenings.  For every major event, their are more common, smaller events to balance them out.  We could never live constantly a state of awe and amazement.  We need the routine activities of daily living to even them out.  Without the "pennys" of our lives, we couldn't truly appreciate the "farthings".  It's all a balancing act.  Once you have found your balance and ridden forward, you can never forget.   It's like riding a bicycle.
