Any creation, any literary or art creation

is the creator's attempt to regain his lost balance

--- so some artists, in order to create, upset their own balance

by leaving their homes looking for new experiences

---But some has their imbalance dumped on them

like a family man whose maid had run away

had to adjust to it by writing out his chaos

So

Art is like a jockey upsetting a horse's balance to make it gallop

(He does so by squatting infront of the horse's shoulders

so as to make the horse stretch his front legs to regain the lost balance)

It's like a piece of music harping on its interrupted or leading note

It's like a researcher hunting out the latest question and giving it an answer.

But the rider's position is dangerous

and the 2nd last note is fleeting

and the crux of the problem is hard to find

And the artist will say," Inspiration doesn't always come!"

But the sword fighter knows

the stance of a fighter is important to delivering a successful blow

His gravity has to be evenly distributed

His shoulders must be free of tensions while his arms are raised and all the while he has to stand tall with his tummy, butt and chin well tucked in

And when the right balance is achieved

(through long years of painful daily practice)

His hit will be fast and easy.
