What is the perfect balance 

between being and doing?

Closing my eyes

looking inside

letting the world settle

around me,

opening my eyes

looking outside

letting the world twirl around me,

the perfect balance,

following the breath,

deeply in,

deeply out,

a gentle smile,

a willingness to change,

sit & rise,

rise & sit,

like night follows day

& day follows night,

a circle always returning to its beginning,

a flower

opening to the sun,

closing to the moon,

the rhythm of life

in perfect balance.
