Balance and Vitality

More juggling, and I am still throwing two of the three balls all over the room. Alexis has forbidden me from picking them up myself, which runs counter to everything my mother ever taught me. I find my body wanting to squat down and pluck them off the floor involuntarily, as if it were on auto-pilot.

We try a throw-throw-catch-catch exercise: throw ball L with the left hand, throw ball R with the right when L reaches its peak, catch L with the right, catch R with the left. At one point, I manage to catch both balls. Drunk on my success, I get over-ambitious and I don't replicate the result again before the session is over. How's that for a parable?
