I was born into this life
not knowing how to speak or walk.

I learned to speak
not in flowing easily understood sentences,
but slowly, choppily, and with practice and
confidence learned
the fluidity of my speech grew.

My first steps were wobbly too.
I persisted realizing I could walk
and eventually run
much quicker and farther than I could crawl.

Sometimes, life feels like a balance beam.
Winds blow trying to knock me off.
Rains fall into my eyes making the way unclear.
I may drop to my knees and crawl again.
I may slither to my belly, hugging that beam
as I inch my way along,
and I may scream my incomprehensible language yet again
as my spirit urges me on..........................

With-in balance sets a perfect exact FIT.
And through all of lifes measurements and ingreedients we constantly
race to make it the same way.
Whats amazing is when we experiment and find someting new, worked even better, to make that balance work..
Thank You for sharing this with us,,,and by the way,
ITS GREAT!flowerforyou drinker
