wow. i think i understand what you're trying to say.
but i truly believe that it is possible to find our center, our balance without someone else or something else as our focus. at least, i hope it is. the trouble with focusing our energies on others all the time is that it gives a false sense of balance, we learn to ignore our internal compass--the one that tells us to take care of ourselves, to explore ourselves. at least this has been my experience.
every time i try to balance myself or find my center with anyone else in focus i lose myself and ultimately topple uncontrollably to a painful end. of course i pick myself up again but i know i am doing it all wrong...
just like learning to walk is a struggle, this too is a défi. a challenge.
and as for life, heaven only knows how many metaphors have been used to try to grasp the likeness of it. it's futile to try to make a generalization about LIFE. [Life is. or so we think...] the most we can do is say that this is what our particular lives compare to at that specific point in time, it is constantly changing and so a single comparison falls short of the mark time and again.
nice ponderings, and i hope my comments gave you pause for thought as well. {sorry for hogging you comment page but we are deep thinkers and must plunge into the depths of our pensées..}
and now sleep beckons me, my dear. so to bed i shall retire, wishing you all the best for tomorrow's race. ~CA
