Each person’s center of gravity, the place where he or she is in tune with the universe, balanced and serene, is different. Musical harmonies shift from chord to chord. The same note cannot be sustained indefinitely. Spiritual balance is unique to each person and varies throughout the days of a person’s life. Yes, we undulate. We are not all asked to balance on point like a prima ballerina or strike a perilous pose on the circus trapeze. Yet the same he same inward grace is required.
