  2. And yet. I was struck by the balance. I think I would also think of grounded, and so important, otherwise we will fly, and maybe a little too high. Sometimes, I also get the weight, and the burden.

  7. Shackles could tie you down as well as hold you up. Shackles could force you to surrender or used to unleash your fury to fight to win.
    Well done.:)
