I believe the following
passage describes the yin and yang of all things pretty well.
“It was the best of
times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of
foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it
was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of
hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing
before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the
other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some
of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for
evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only”
—Charles Dickens, A Tale
of Two Cities
The world turns one way
and then another. The wheel keeps spinning and what is up now will be down
later and vice versa. Everything changes including change itself. Sometimes it
is like a lightning bolt and sometimes it is a whisper in the midst of
cacophony. Sometimes it is so gradual we don’t see it even when it is right
before us.
