ba'lance.


Balance is to locate the still point at the center of complexity.
Balance is to be in a constant state of sensitive fine adjustments
Balance requires exquisite sensitivity to inner and outer forces.
Balance requires yielding and resisting, yielding and resisting...
Balance cannot wait
Balance appears spontaneous and improvisational but is utterly responsible and devoted
Balance is thwarted by pretense, also by insistance
Balance knows both this and that and prefers neither
Balance is opportunistic
Balance finds a home anywhere, finds the center everywhere.
"Balanceing" is more like it then "balanced"
balance is a state of mind and body and spirit that manifests itself in the actions of our mind, our bodies , and our spirit.
balance is homeostasis, is dynamic harmony, is ecological well-being
balance is what nature requires, sooner or later, at all scales , of all things, micro and macro

Balance has a flip side= imbalance

imbalance opens the door
imbalance knows excess
imbalance is always immanent, always in the wings
Balance is opportunistic in its own way, imbalance wins by default
imbalance is almost all except for the fraction ceded to balance now and again
imbalance is indolent, achieves by carelessness
imbalance is the child of time
imbalance is what Nature requires, sooner or later at all scales, icro and macro
So is balance 

Imbalance: the sea Balance : the perfect wave
Imbalance: everything over time
Balance: everything outside of time.
