OctPoWriMo2021 Day 7: The Power of Balance

Standard

The Power of Balance 

it’s a carefully choreographed dance
creative drive, obligations
if the truth be known
a question of
balance
options
what I should do
or what I want to do
follow the visions in my head
or respond to the needs of those I love
prioritizing moment by moment
juggling my desires and others’
brain gymnastics
mindful
faithful
deliberate
doing what's important
grasping the best of everything
it’s a carefully choreographed dance
