Delta’s Force

Constant change creates stability.

I heard a form of this in T’ai Chi class years ago,
and recently spontaneously lived it.

I was doing physical therapy balancing exercises,
and getting praise from others who can’t do them as well.

They asked me how I never lose my balance.

I said that I’m no better at keeping my balance than others-
actually I’m probably worse at keeping my balance-
but better at realizing exactly when I lose it, and thus regain it very quickly.

So I check in with myself more often than others who,
when in the same position, wobble or fall once they realize,
too late to recover, they already lost theirs.
