Indeed, the crash wants to equal the high in intensity. Part of what ends up describing how well I rode the wave is discretion. I have to choose so carefully how I indulge the manic side because to fuel it is also to fuel the depression side to follow. For example, writing a poem doesn't get me in trouble quite like joining a militant revolutionary group might, and yet both are expressions of my manic side. Some activities amount to utilizing the different energies and some are more like the foolishness of trying to stand on your head while surfing. I'm always trying to learn the difference it seems, and expanding the list of things to do during each side.

Thanks for reading and thinking about it Angie. tc.
