I love the analogy of water as well. Coming from a Pisces I try to be as mutable as water, but succumbing to the laws of Chaos Theory when speaking of water's predictability and reliability can be tough.

Your water analogy is a fine one. Like most material analogies for complex ideas, it has limitations. This is not necessarily a bad thing, for the analogy has to be simpler than the phenomenon so that it can be brought readily to mind and the usefulness of it is found.
Balance as a life principle so often is thought of in the ultra-simplistic terms that you correctly summarised as such - that of a static balance, the apothecary's apparatus with brass weights in one pan and the substance to be weighed in the other.
Life balance is not just more complicated than that analogy, for the apothecary's apparatus is static when balance is reached. Static balance in life spells death. Life balance is dynamic. When dynamic life balance is achieved things are still happening, for that balance exists within a living system.
