So today I had my first real gymnastics class (as you can probably tell from my updated profile picture...) and we were told all about finding your core, your center, a calm, steady balance. And all of a sudden my legs went up, my arms went down, and my body simply fell (or flew) into a handstand- like the last piece to a puzzle. I was so surprised that I almost let go and came toppling down, but I held myself upside down for a few more seconds before righting myself.
Isn't it funny how you can be so confused, whether it's something about math or something else about dance, anything really, and all of a sudden, the light bulb is flashing and the something clicks? I think we too often block out the click and let our confusion/stress overwhelm everything else. I know I do. Maybe all it takes is a couple handstands and some good old balance...
