Steady

Steady.

I Am.

Experienced. Weathered. Aged.

Eroded. Refined.

Call it what you will.

I AM steady.

The rains come.

The sun beats down.

The breezes blow.

They, too, are steady.

Constant. Predictable.

Sometimes fierce.

They rush, pierce, gust.

I stand.

Proud. Confident. Capable. Strong.

I flex.

I bend.

I do not break.

I’ve grown past that frailty.

Matured.

Roots firmly planted, growing inward, upward.

Steady, I take what I need. Give back in return.

Balanced.

Solid at my core.

Steady.

I AM.

Balance

Balance.

Not as easy as it seems.

90% of brain function

is dedicated

to maintaining balance

in the human organism.

Just ask a chiropractor.

Equilibrium. Equipoise. Counterpoise.

Stability.

Literal balance.

Emotional balance.

Balance

between

…holding tight and letting go

…grace and effort

…give and take

…live and let live.

In the moment.

Balance.

Imbalance.

Imbalanced…off kilter…a little off…out of her mind…

Let’s not.
