Uniform

It appeared as if the sky was one colour this morning. However, upon closer examination it was possible to see the transition of one colour to the next. It looked so uniform. It made me chuckle and laugh to remember way back to high school when I used to spend so much time trying to get my bangs uniform and perfect and then lock it in with a tonne of hair spray.

Why do we crave uniformity? Is it because it's predictable? I think our minds crave predictability because this world is so darn unpredictable. We are constantly being tasked with making sense of our experiences. This is much easier if the circumstances remain the same. However, a conflict invariably arises because our hearts seek to be expressed in a variety of ways. This need for variety is in direct opposition to the need for uniformity. It doesn't have to be one or the other. The fun part is learning to dance between the two poles enjoying every step of the journey.
