In walking a tightrope, a person has to learn to relax while going forward in a situation filled with risk. If he is tense and keeps his body rigid, he will lose his balance and fall. But if he stays relaxed and keeps his muscles loose while remaining very focused, he can continuously respond and readjust his balance while walking. Then he will experience the exhilaration of success. This is a perfect metaphor for life itself, for growing in an intimate relationship and for growing in recovery.

Life itself is a risk. When I hold on too tight, remain too guarded, and anxiously try to control every factor, I become stiff and reactive rather than calm, focused, and responsive. The guidance of this path teaches me to let go of my anxieties and leads me to peace of mind. When I learn to do that, I can deftly walk my path and more effectively maintain my balance in dealing with whatever comes up.

Its so much worse in isolation. Waiting for the bar to open. My son bursts in and made waffles.

Life is a risk.
