Stability and Movement

Last night at yoga I was thinking about stability and movement. If I anchor myself in a position, I can stretch away from that point like a ball bouncing up from the ground. In this way, stability makes movement easier. Like most human beings, I find myself attracted to movement, which is fine, but sometimes I’m distracted by it, like a sparkly thing that has no purpose. I strive to find a quiet, still place inside myself to ground me. Then I can move from that centered space in a purposeful, balanced way into the whirling world—and not be knocked down by the speed of life.
