Balance is a movement.
It is not a state. It is an action, an activity.
This idea came to me the other day while I was driving and talking with a dear friend.
What would change if we approach balance not as a state to achieve but as a movement to do?
This morning, while I was sitting in silence with this question in my awareness, I realised that many things we see as static are movements. Happiness is a movement.
Success is a movement.
Peace is a movement.
Freedom is a movement.
Many other "things" in life are movements. Maybe all of them.
In a way, isn't this what quantum mechanics revealed?
That everything is a wave.
Through quantum theory, we discovered that instead of two fundamental entities (particles and waves), there is only one: waves.
So, maybe it's the same for balance, happiness and success. They are not states (particles); they are movements.
If we look at balance as a state, we invest energy in achieving it only to discover that it is highly unstable. So we have to spend other energy to keep that state, almost inevitably in vain.
But if we approach balance as a movement, we can embrace its fleeting nature and be with it.
