Finding Balance at the Edge of the Cliff

Went to yoga this morning. It was great. Thankfully my yoga teacher has a sense of humor, and looks on yoga as "playful"--a way to see what you body will do, and a shorter distance to the floor when you fall (provided you're practicing balance exercises from the floor!).

"You find your balance at the edge of the cliff," she said, "just when you're about to fall." Is this true or what?! I'd spent yesterday about to fall, even lost my footing a time or two, and gratefully friends helped pull me back to the safety of solid ground. I found my balance, and regained my footing.

Wish the world's leaders could do the same.
