Word

The word is balance...if anyone sees my left metatarsal arch, please send it home, I miss it...especially in tree pose.

Leave me a word to illustrate in the comments, I'll pick one and post it next Thursday with a link to your blog and will send you the small drawing for your word (the one above is about 4' by 5") via snail mail if you like. People to whom I haven't linked before are especially encouraged to leave word.
