A balanced view of balance

It's refreshing to read an essay on balance--on a weblog no less:

Now balance is a word that portrays, to some, a sense of the safe, of the non-committal, of the middle-road. I would counter that balance is, in actuality, exciting, dangerous and very hard work. . . . Unfortunately, balance doesn't sell books or get people to read a blog post . . ."

Too true, but I do hope you'll read Bill Roberts's, eh, balanced thoughts on balance at Out of the Bloo.
