So, early landing on the sand - achieved. Early coffee - early singing, as we say. Although, it was even earlier and mine reached the beach only in the form of an empty cup. On the other hand, that was fine since as you might have noticed throughout my first couple of posts from this series, my goal was defined as liberating paper coffee cups from vending machines around the resort and sending them on vacation. I am on a vacation so why shouldn't they be?
Here you can find my reports from Day One and Day Two.
The weather got better today. I even swam for a few minutes before getting back to sandy activities. Such as showing my paper coffee cup how to balance a stack of stones on its head.
It wasn't easy, by the way, not for me, nor for the sand-filled cup. It worked on the third or fourth time. But I think the lesson was worth it. One should be able to find balance, especially during vacations. Otherwise, they wouldn't be vacations ;)
Interesting...
Balance is one thing that I deem better found than created. Because it is important and at the same time, too complicated for human beings to be sure that they really understand it. The only creator of fine balance is Nature. Others risk achieving the temporary illusion of one, and then coming down in a crash.
When speaking of physical balance, Gravity knows best where yours lies.
You know that in many aspects, one needs to move in order to maintain it. Like when riding a bicycle.
And when it comes to way too complex social or ecological phenomena, we'd better try and find the time to sit back and let gravity show us where things stand.
There's another way to look at it all, that comes to my mind right now. You can say if you need balance, there's an "either..., either..." rule. Either you build solid base that can take everything on top, either you find the perfect axis of your motion and you keep spinning. Or a trajectory upon which you keep moving.
Keep on moving, people! Don't stop looking!
Peace,
