Balance -- feet, ears, eyes. Center of gravity somewhere in the center of the stomach.

Physical therapy for my healing right foot -- one exercise is standing on the right foot, raising the left behind, balancing.

Holding it for 30 seconds.

Standing at a windowsill, hands over the sill, tapping down on the index and 3rd finger of each hand as needed to steady me.

Easy enough to do by spotting, holding the spot with my vision, like the crook of tree branches.

Relaxing, breathing steadily.

And then I try it on my right foot, balance, spot, and close my eyes.

Then all hell breaks loose.

That's what it looks like, to the right. And I wobble, tip, lean, incline and just lose control.

Very disconcerting.

I realized my eyes behind my closed lids were roaming around in crazy darts.

I tried spotting behind the closed lids, finding a spot and concentrating on it.

Wonder if I'll get any better at this.  Wonder if I'll be able to keep balance?
