Balance.

I get it now. Just breathe.

Eyes closed. Block it all out. One foot, swing it round, in front of the other. Shift weight. Repeat. Balancing is so easy sometimes and then, sometimes... it's like a gust of wind from some easterly direction springs up and surprises you and you misstep.... maybe it's a sudden glance, maybe it's tied to something just as corny as it is in books. Whatever it is, when balance is lost.... it takes a while to recover. How long is a while?

I need to sleep.
