HOMEOSTATIC MILES
ho·me·o·sta·sis
[hoh-mee-uh-stey-sis]
NOUN
1.
the tendency of a system, especially the physiological system of higher animals, to maintain internal stability, owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus that would tend to disturb its normal condition or function.
2.
Psychology a state of psychological equilibrium obtained when tension or a drive has been reduced or eliminated.
3.
Entomology the ability of members of a colony of social insects to behave cooperatively to produce a desired result, as when bees coordinate the fanning of their wings to cool the hive.
To be homeostatic is to be meek, mild, mellow, like Miles Davis; spiritually cooled out, adapted to what is; insouciant is another description of it, can you dig it?
TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE OF ANYTHING IS NOT AT ALL GOOD. BALANCE, EVENNESS, HOMEOSTASIS, EQUANIMITY, EQUIPOISE ARE BEST. AMEN
