An interesting prompt, Dennett. I laughed when I saw that little bird all neatly perched and balanced. These days, for me balance is something I have to fight for, since it takes very little for me to tip over. The left side still does not fully function and causes tippiness, so achieving balance is critical for me.

Mental balance is also hard to achieve. (For me.) meditation has never been achievable for me, and the yoga teacher totally gave up on me. Just like the swimming teacher and the dance teacher. 🤣
