Summary

How do you know when your life is balanced? If you can die today, contended with your life, it is balanced. Do you ever feel like a tightrope walker, trying to keep your balance as you walk through life? Do you feel that intimacy, understanding, friendship and acceptance are missing, replaced with feelings of isolation, separation and loneliness?
