Mayan Wisdom

Walking in Balance

Maintaining equilibrium in all aspects of life.

Balance is the key to well-being - balance between work and rest, giving and receiving, speaking and listening, solitude and community. Extremes in any direction create imbalance and problems. The middle way is the healthy way.

Walk neither too fast nor too slow; find the pace that carries you far.
