stretch a rope between two poles

make it taunt so it is not so hard to control

pretend the two points are the beginning and the end

and practice transversing it again and again

life isn’t so different as you stumble and fall

when you think you have it, you lose control

you measure your steps and shift your weight to steady the movement that your feet make

and you find your rhythm and you get into a flow

and that my friend is how a good life goes

find your balance
