Balance

A gentle dynamic tuning between action and rest, self and others.

Balance is not a static state but a constant gentle tuning. It is the ability to return to center whenever life has rocked you a little.

Short

  • «I find the center between action and rest.»
  • «I balance attention to others with attention to myself.»
  • «I choose moderation rather than extremes.»
  • «I return to equilibrium gently and quickly.»
  • «Balance is my dynamic, living state.»

One minute

I take a soft breath and find a point of equilibrium inside. I notice where I have leaned too far today: into tasks, into people, into thoughts, into feelings. I return rest to the places where there was too much doing. I return movement to the places where there was too much stopping. I do not look for a perfect balance — I look for an honest one. I allow myself to be active and quiet, visible and humble. I allow my day to have different rhythms. Today I choose balance as respect for myself and for life.

Contemplation

Balance is not a static state but a constant gentle tuning. It is the ability to return to center whenever life has rocked you a little.
