This paragraph, "Balance is not about standing still,...", reminds me of riding a bike. It's near impossible to balance on a bike at rest, much easier when you put the bike in motion. And you maintain the balance when you adjust to the road and elements you're riding on/through.

I love this piece. Thanks for sharing. I find there's pressure to even "ebb and flow" a socially approved way; its incessantness drowning.

Hoping for a little more balance in your life. And selfishly, I miss vicariously walking. x

I have been working with/through/against Long Covid for nearly 1.5 years now. I can relate to a lot of what you've been through + what you're going through. If we hold hands, we might be able to stay just steady enough to walk our tightropes to the other side.

It's a deal. That's why communities like this are so dear to me. We help hold each other up at times of wobbliness. x
