Finding The Fulcrum

I read an article recently where Feng Shui was described as the “art of placement.” If you don’t know anything about Feng Shui, it’s an ancient Chinese system of orienting your space in relation to the flow of energy.

Without minimizing the system, furniture, pictures, plants, color and lighting are adjusted or moved around a room (or building) by determining where energy is flowing through the windows or doors. Hard edges are repositioned or softened so balance prevails in the living space.

I wondered if this “art of placement” could be applied to living life in the chaotic years of the 21st Century. Why? Because no matter what the situation is, global or local, monumental or minuscule, vocal or visual, it results in tirades of right vs. wrong, causing glaring displays of disharmony and unbalance. It’s hideously evident in the digital feeds on Facebook or Twitter. Or any social media for that matter.
