Grandfather Peter's Prayer for Today

GRANDFATHER'S PRAYER FOR TODAY.
My Creator, Help me today to find the true meaning of “Walking in Balance”

.THE LAW OF BALANCE.
(Finding a middle way).
“To Walk in Balance” is an old Native American saying. Balance applies to our Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit and to all levels of our being.
Anything we do, we can underdo or overdo. Our Earth walk can be likened to a pendulum. If our actions or habits swing too far to one side they will inevitably swing an equal amount to the other side. The key is to try to keep the swings either way to a minimum, to find the middle way, “To Walk in Balance”
To find the middle way, the balance point, can be a daunting task, but it must start with action. We can never find a true balance point for ourselves unless we are first willing to take a step forward. “To Walk” first requires us to take a step of faith in anything we do. We will inevitably make mistakes, but this is part of the learning and experience process. But more important in learning, we gain understanding.
A warrior learnt to fire his arrow on target by first making an attempt to hit the target. He would almost certainly be short, too long, or one side or the other of the target. His next attempt would probably be an over correction. But with practise he would learn and hit the target. Isn’t our lives much like that? With practise and experience we learn. Then we can be closer to our personal truths and really learn the meaning of “To Walk in Balance” and to “Walk our Talk”.
