Down From Cloud Nine
Things can get really difficult without some kind of steady income to count on. As unmaterialistic and free as I've always wanted to be when I was younger, I've learned later in life that our existence is totally dependent on the basic material stuff and on our selves when things really get rough. That's why material stuff is called the basic stuff... Sorry for getting so rudimentary here. But I've had problems with coming down to earth. Life in heaven on cloud nine is not all music, wine and roses without tasting some bitterness. Now that I've had my share of the bitter stuff, I can talk from experience. The best region to be in is the Mid Region. That's also where Krishna talks to Arjuna on the battle fields of Kurukshetra in the Bhagavat Gita. Life is a struggle... But too much struggle or counting on luck is not good either.
