Here, a terrific reflection on work-life balance by the very wise Kate Fowler Harris: "In my own life, instead of balance I have come to adopt the word coherence. I don’t need my life to be in static equilibrium, but I do need it to hold together, to make sense and to be consistent. Coherence is a word that evokes seamlessness rather than categories, an ever emerging and evolving life cycle shaped by discernment, complexity and constraints rather than a one dimensional pie chart. A companion word – a sister to coherence – is the word sustainability. It is one thing to be balanced in the moment, for the season, but a coherent life requires that habits and choices, commitments and cares be sustained across seasons to become formative over a lifetime." thehighcalling.org/faith/myth-balance#.UctfvxaW00w
