The Wheel of Fate…

Life is full of surprises, isn’t it? When you find yourself swept up in the whirlwind of a sudden shift, what do you do? If you resist, you could be dragged through the chaos with an alarming sense of impending injury. So, if today is the day things get dizzying, see if you can focus, relax and adapt yourself to accommodate the spin. The greatest stuntmen and physical comedians of our time would master the art of dangerous tricks by relaxing into them. Buster Keaton, an all time great, always said the secret is in “landing limp”. So, you are spinning and you might be feeling out of control. The danger is palpable and you are tense. Focus that all seeing eye of yours and know that this moment won’t last forever and you will soon land. Then, relax - let go and land limp. Once you hit the ground safely, you will see that it will all work out in the end. Heck, enjoy the excitement of the spin!

“Tragedy is a close-up; comedy, a long shot.” -- Buster Keaton
