balance

To walk we have to lean forward, lose our balance, and begin to fall.
We let go, constantly, of the previous stability, falling, all the time,
trusting that we will find a succession of new stabilities with each
step.  The fullest living is a constant dying of the past, enjoying the
present fully, but holding it lightly; letting go without clinging and
moving freely into new experiences.  Our experience of the past
and of those dear to us is not lost at all, but remains richly within us.
