There is a need for balance in this life, the need to step out of a routine and do something completely different. When you go on doing the same thing day in day out, year in and year out, you can so easily become stale and even drained. Therefore step out fearlessly from time to time and do something totally different and then return to the work on hand refreshed and revitalized ready for anything.
Rhythm is very necessary, but there are times when rhythm is taken so much for granted it becomes meaningless and it is only when that rhythm is broken you can once again find it, see it in a completely different light, and see the true meaning and reason for rhythm. It is when you have to do without that you realize how much you take for granted in life, how seldom you stop in what you are doing and give thanks for everything, and realize how mightily blessed you are.
