Scenes from the Journey: Equilibrium

Sunday, October 27, 2024

If you work on balancing your physical body,

holding it in space without tipping to one side

or the other,

or standing on a single strong foot, ankle steady—

if you achieve this goal

(which may be unattainable)

will you then also have gained

the equilibrium sought through decades?

Will you than automatically know wise from foolish,

good from bad,

right from wrong—

in short, will you have found the state of grace

held out as a reward?

On the off chance that the one will lead to the other,

keep working at those exercises:

Stand on one foot.

Close your eyes.

Balance. Balance.

Don't fall.
