Some words on âBalance"
âHappiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm, and harmony.â â Thomas Merton The word balance is both a noun and a verbâ something we have, and something we do. Life itself is a balancing act, right? Everything is in motion. When the world around us feels off-kilter, we do too. Balance isnât about perfectionâ itâs about adjusting, over and over, even learning to find steadiness in the imbalance. High-wire artists donât look down or aheadâ they move one step at a time. Progress, not perfection, keeps them upright. A pendulum swings from one extreme to another, but always returns to center. A musician tunes between sharp and flat until harmony emerges. In Taoist philosophy, yin and yang â the dance of oppositesâ create wholeness and balance. Balance is harmony in motion. Itâs not a thing you get; itâs something you practice. For me Everyday Energy movements with you and Drew continue to lift my spirits and keep me balanced. Joy, pride, and creativity nourish the soulâ and when you care for yourself first, everyone around you benefits. Meet your needs before your wants.
