An Introduction to the Juggling

I love watching jugglers, the really good ones.  The ones who juggle sticks on fire or swords, while standing on one foot or spinning in perfect circles between each toss.  I love the motion, the fluidity, the precision, but most of all I love their unwavering balance.  I have felt that balance before, not while juggling (anyone who has seen me try to juggle can verify I have no talent in that arena), but I have felt it in my life.  I have felt that amazing precision and purposefulness in my every action.  I have felt the calm of knowing my environment and what I can control within it.  I have felt the peace of being balanced among the variables I can't control.  I love that feeling.  I search out and crave that feeling.  I so often find myself teetering on balance.  Feeling it and holding it and being my own amazing juggler, just to have the moment pass.  Although we may only be strangers passing in this world, I would love to share with you my search for balance.
