The Act of Balancing

Balancing Act

Pretty precarious.

What's your version of balance?    My first instinct is that it looks like this... Something impossible to achieve, and once you get it, you'd better not move.  Or it all comes crashing down.

This doesn't quite resonate with me...It looks beautiful and all...static perfection.  But holding still is not something I want to work towards. 

Holding still does not get you anywhere.  

Oh, that Al Einstein.  Smart guy.

My life certainly is not a model of balance.  I get that.  I have, at times, been able to make it LOOK like I had it under control.  

Only to see I have gone to the extreme, careening out of control, grabbing for the tree as I fall forward.  

If I work really hard on one thing... other important things get left behind.  

Soooooo....maybe somewhere in the middle? Middle.  

Somwhere between frozen immobility and falling over.  

I'm striving for balance right now...and I think I'm a lot closer than I've been in a while.  Moving forward, while keeping things in line.  There are good things ahead in my path, and that's where I'll steer.  

That Ellen...she's pretty smart, too.

Towards the pina AND the colada.
