In motion, balance rarely looks balanced.
Field Notes
A skateboarder moving through a curve must lean far beyond what would feel safe if they were standing still. The turn changes the rules. What looks like a loss of balance is actually the mechanism that creates it. Life’s transitions often feel similar. During periods of growth, uncertainty, or change, the adjustments required can feel uncomfortable, disproportionate, or even reckless. Yet the posture that carries us through a curve is often very different from the posture that keeps us steady on a straight path.
