To find one’s center-point, the balancing of input and output, yin and yang, left and right... where brain and heart converge in harmony (without force); this is a quest worthy of timeless devotion. Find the centering point of a branch of driftwood, the point at which all that is suspended from this nature-sculpted wood is in equilibrium, and know the human spirit balances itself similarly. |

a fine 'write'...about something 'essential' that seems to have perpetually eluded me... most serious and sustained applause for this 'penning!' |

Midnitesun, I'm sure everyone has a spiritual center-point. However, what is to be gained by finding it, or even looking for it. Bobby |

I agree with you, Kacy that finding your center point is important because it brings peace to you, even when things are in turmoil around you. I think you are very wise to realize this. Your poetry always reflects your inner peace and harmony. Ida |

Kacy - Wonderful write. I personally think it's important to be balanced and I have strived and am striving to reach that center-point. Just when I think I'm there then, bang, I'm shot right back again. Yes, a test of stamina for sure. Helen |

Finding my center-balance point, is a necessity in order to survive the rigors of 'modern' life. My psyche is in tune with nature, and I prefer a simpler existence than what I actually live day-to-day. I must 'ground' myself in gardening projects, and center my spirit around nature in order to survive. Thanks to each of you for spending a moment here with me. |

i just saw this trailer for this show, Eureka and one of its teasers was an equation emotions-logic = faith. yet, your poem combined all three aspects very favourably. nice! |
