A Casual Ramble About Balance

Howdy, Casual Ramblers!

Been dealing with a cold the past few days. It’s been tough, but I am finding it is not without benefits. Specifically, it’s helped me reinforce new routines, but I’d remiss to spoil it all here.

Let me just say that this whole ramble was inspired while watching The Lion in Winter starring Peter O’Toole as Henry II among others. It’s a brilliant film and I am debating how to write about it.

For now, however, I might just be content to let the film exist as a matter of enjoyment rather than content. In the meantime, muse with me on the nature of balance.


I’d like to give thanks to my wonderful patrons, Jennifer, Julie, Michael, Zero, Roshi and Phil, as well as the many free members of the Casual Ramble. Without you, everything that has been would not be and everything that is to come would not happen. This post was released a week early to my Patreon supporters, if you’d like to receive early access to poetry, short films and other works, you can join the Casual Ramble Patreon via the link below!

About The Casual Rambler

An insane man moonlighting as a respectable member of society from Portland, Oregon. A rock ‘n’ roller since his mother first spun The Police’s “Roxanne,” Ben is a lover of all things independent music. Once upon a time, a friend told him to write about music. So he started doing that under the title of a Willie Bobo cover by Santana. Now he just casually rambles about whatever crosses his mind.
