I wish I were feeling more bright and creative I would write a poem from all your great comments, with words like ease, achoo, every limb, squiggly, and most certainly entitled Harmonious Coupling!

So true! I think of balancing my life as very much like the act of balancing when I studied ballet. En pointe, you are constantly readjusting, making tiny subtle movements from your toes all the way up to the top of your head. There's one fantastic and very difficult maneouvre called the le promenade, which involves turning very carefully on one foot with the body at right angles to the leg. One moves so slowly around in a complete circle. Life is like that, a constant reassessment of the position of every limb, every muscle. Like a ballet dancer, if you get it right, it looks effortless. Joely Black’s last blog post..Learning like a six-year-old

Hi Jennifer, I love words. And I think balance might still be a good one, even worthy of fondness- maybe just overused or cloaked with projections or impossible longings for a pain-free world. Maybe we reject the word for the striving for perfection that we think it implies- or the stopping of a seesaw while holding a ball on our nose? Still, there's emptiness and fullness; day and night; yin and yang; joy and sorrow; giving and receiving; spiritual and material....yes and no...thought and no-thought.... I don't want to throw out these babies with my balance bathwater... How about Harmonious Coupling? Maybe that's a kind of balance? And gentleness, patience, humor, tenderness.... Again, your wonderful post gave me much to ponder while on my walk. Thanks! Ingrid’s last blog post..New Gifts from the Studio: Mini flower bouquets and Cameo Necklace Cards, and A Joyful Discovery

Balance is about balancing balance. And that is about process. Which circles back (in a crooked line which often does not even remotely resemble a circle) to balance. Thank you for letting us know your cicle can be all squiggley, too. Boy! Isn’t it great to be human? Fun and full of motion and chocolate. And crooked lines.

I totally agree- and I love the way you put it. Balance is fleeting, very fleeting. Achoo- there it went again. Mark Silver’s last blog post..Luddite Offline Marketing
