Literary notes about NORMALCY (AI summary)

In literature, the word "normalcy" is often employed to evoke the return to a state of balance or equilibrium following a disruption. For example, in Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi [1], the phrase "my feet regained normalcy" not only signifies the restoration of physical steadiness but also poetically suggests a reclaiming of order after a period of upheaval. In this context, normalcy becomes a multifaceted symbol of recovery and the reestablishment of a fundamental state of being, highlighting both the physical and the metaphysical journey toward stability.
  1. Laboriously I turned around; my feet regained normalcy.
    — from Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda
