    I wonder if Balance is not the freedom from fear or desire but the ability to hold the tension of freedom and desire without attachment, And so we dance.

    Dance the art of falling and catching ourselves gracefully. Dancing from the still point

    “At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
    Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
    But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
    Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
    Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
    There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.” TS Eliot

    “The ability to hold the tension of freedom and desire without attachment”—what a beautiful response, Peter. Reminds of the edge, oh that wonderful edge to experience the Balance, like a ropewalker crossing a flimsy, thin piece of thread while the world watches, waiting for you to pass or fall, a choice always yours, a choice for you to dance as Eliot says at the still point of the turning world.
