Balance

Much of my life is about balance. I don’t mean that in the spiritual sense this time. Maintaining physical balance is figuring out the right way to carry things and myself from place to place, without them or me falling. I’ve been conducting multiple experiments at that for the last 23 years, not all of them successful.

I was faced with a new challenge concerning balance here in the U.S. I have to carry two heavy law casebooks, a computer and a microphone around almost all the time. I settled on taking a tote bag folded in the backpack, should my back hurt and I’ll need it during the day. On the brighter side, when I arrive somewhere and take the weight off my shoulders, I feel so light, I might fly away.
