Balancing Point

I was taking it easy today. So I kept up with the single cane spinning. I was working on bringing the cane around my back and across the other arm. It wasn’t going as well as the day before yesterday. So I messed with it until it started coming again. Then it hit me. This bit would work so much better if I kept track of the cane’s center of balance. Suddenly, I got a lot more consistent. In retrospect, it’s painfully obvious. After all, you have to manage the center when you’re working with a contact staff. Why not with a cane as well? Heck. Why not with any prop? Or life?…
