Balance
I'm working on balance in my life. When practicing yoga, I include a pose requiring balance. I try to eat well balanced meals. I like to balance my mind also. Today I spent a couple of hours listening to a course on Buddhism and one on great books in history. I also got ambitious, read the manual for my digital piano, played some Bach tuned to the Werckmeister tuning system to see how different another scale would sound. It was hard to get used to. My piano gives me 7 different tuning scales to choose from, which is fun when going for historical accuracy. I probably won't change very often from the "equal temperament" tuning used now, because it does sound so different. Later, for balance, I read some of Michael Crichton's "Pirate Latitudes" for something less intellectual. I ended the day by watching "Big Mama 2" on TV to give my brain a rest. It was cute and wholesome. Not a bad day!
