Poised for Change

Sudden shifts of direction are hard enough to pull off, much less when one is not already poised on the balls of one's feet. There is an expectancy and preparedness in the tennis player's stance. Too settled translates into too complacent more often than not. Not an issue until the unexpected intrudes and changes the dynamics. The unexpected and changing dynamics are our context. If you haven't come to terms with that fact yet, then every surprise will be a storm. Consequently there is greater peace in poise than in relaxing.
