I used to think balance was something like that guy on Ed Sullivan with a million plates on the go all spinning wildly.

My friend Jill talks about balance with the imagery of a bowling pin. Sometimes we accept that we are leaning drastically to one side. As we do so, we see that there is a tenuous balance involved. But we also look to see what it will take to move closer to that straight balance. Then at some point, we may be tipping the other way and we work again back to that central stance. Are we ever silently standing erect? I hope not. Living life seems to about grooving from side to side like a bowling pin!
