BALANCED APPROACH

GIGGLESUN


Without kindling, logs do not light.
Without logs, fire does not last.
Use each in their turn.

Without sail, a ship cannot make way.
Without ballast, it is unsteady.
Trim and adjust them.

Without levity, trust will not be sown.

Without sobriety, it will not root.

The sage is a negotiator.


A light touch?
A firm grip!

Discerning the mood and context of a situation or interaction is vital in deciding how to respond constructively and effectively.
This demands a clear understanding of goals, allied to a flexibility of attitude in achieving them.
