CLASSICAL MUSIC……hang on, red light, don’t leave this blog page, its not going to be a boring Tail! Promise.

I listen to Light Classical melodies when I am writing. The music inspires me and I can almost see the translucent musical notes floating through the air with delicate ballerinas fluttering in the background.

Welcome back.

So you are thinking, “okay Norbs, where are you going with this?” Stay with me now…

The ballerinas convey a cultivated grace, an ethereal and almost impossible balance. I have personally never done ballet – c’mon, me in a dainty pink tutu, I think not – but I imagine the dedication, training and study of the art is, well, tough! The key word nestled in this art form that stands out to me is balance. Physical balance, mental balance.

Julie is always chatting up this topic. See, she is a Libra. When she first mentioned it I was like, “you’re a zebra?” Um, confused. But then she restated it more clearly: LIBRA, sign of the scales, symbolic of balance. Momma holds this as a top value in her life and has done so since she was little. This piece of art work below momma created in high school. It reflects what “balance” meant to her at that time.

My, how the complexity of the juggling act increases as we grow. What kinds of balls does your personal juggler have to manage in order to maintain balance?

Wrapping this back around, I wanted to share with you my personal Balance Dance, a tribute to ballerinas and to everyone, who strives for harmony and personal centeredness. (my spell check doesn’t recognize the word “centeredness” but I am feelin’ it; heck I’m just a chorkie so I won’t fuss with the minutia). Enjoy.
