“As a child, I used to do gymnastics. And I loved the balance beam. I remember the graceful motion of one leg passing through thin air, as the other leg holds steady on the beam. Much like life, the grace and art of the balance beam, was that you have to concentrate on one step at a time. Whether landing jumps, or doing tricks, every foot or hand fall on the beam was vital to the balance you kept. In life, I find it often the same way. To balance, we must take it one step, one plan, one day at a time. And sometimes if we do, we can enjoy the art of moving through the air.”
-Rev. Emily DeTar Birt
How can you concentrate on one thing at a time, one movement at a time, one day at a time?
