People too have gravity -
of manner, of morals, and of body.
It is good to have gravity but not too much of it:
like a bag of cement, you might not be able to move around or make ethical distinctions.
But with too little of it you are flighty, your feet hardly touch the ground.
Though cement and flightiness have their charms,
 it's better to find your center of gravity and have it be the place you radiate from.

(Ron Padgett, b. 1942)
