A bird flies from the ground to a small branch, and lands.
The branch wobbles. Whoa, thinks the bird, maybe I made a mistake.
Then he finds his balance. The bird looks around, content.
He begins to sing.
The twig shakes again. So he stops.
The bird sees something in the grass, and dives down.
The grass is as tall as trees. He can't see past it.
But he can eat.
Everything, the flying, the eating, even the balancing, seems like hard work.
Only in brief moments is he perfectly balanced.
We may not always be balanced.
But we are always who we are - a person, or a bird.

Hello:
On consideration, we feel that we are rarely balanced. However, we do think that a slightly uneven view of life is essential in order to cope with the ups and downs that come one's way.
I guess it's how we deal with the imbalance.
I love this little bird! Take care

I did enjoy this. It would be nice if balance had less distractions, enough to be comfortable sometimes.
Love the post...finding balance:)

We may not always be balanced is so true, we wobble, we topple, we get back up and in getting back up we will find balance again.
