Yin and Yang

“Becoming and being are the yin and yang of our lives. One inner one outer. Today, we value becoming to the exclusion of being; we applaud human becomings. The secret is balance.”

-Author Unknown-

Transformation contains both
change and constancy,
movement and stagnation,
development and decay,
life and death,
grief and bliss.

Embrace
these uneven rythyms,
as ultimately and unexpectedly,
they unite;
creating our whole SELF.

We cannot understand
emptiness,
if we haven't experienced
fullness.
We cannot expand,
if we haven't encountered and felt
contraction.

Balance the paradoxes
within yourself.
Accept it in those
you meet.

If we acknowledge
these truths,
all things
can come into focus,
bringing
vital clarity.
