Balance

$13,000.00

I was thinking about balance at a time when I had none. Stillness is only how it looks from the outside. Inside, it's corrected all the time, and to stand is to keep moving. Opening up isn't generosity: closing in means falling. So does deciding you've held it. This isn't weakness, and it isn't anxiety. There's simply no other way it comes.
