To Become...

 

Michelangelo

To become a balanced man/woman 

is a very big thing. 

To see oneself, 

to see myself without becoming identified 

is a portal into another realm. 

So, how to balance (in practical terms) for myself?

I was telling P that as a child 

I loved riding my bike and roller-skating. 

The bike was freedom and roller-skating excitement. 

I remember that one day (as a child) 

my moving center was very active. 

I asked my mom 

if she needed anything from the store 

and said, yes, some potato chips. 

So off on my bike I went to the town center. 

I had an aim. 

After I came home with the chips, 

I asked if she needed anything else. 

Bless her heart, 

she gave me another errand. 

I rode like the wind and remembered being so happy. 

It was joyous.

In relaying this to P, 

I realized that I had an aim. 

My moving center was employed, 

the emotions were engaged, 

and the intellectual center (as a child) 

was in use to create the aim. 

I do this now. 

When feeling overwhelmed in the emotional center, 

I find that the moving center helps to balance me. 

It has to be a specific task that needs to get done. 

This has been beneficial on many levels, 

and I am experimenting 

and allowing the understandings to deepen over time.
