To be whole, we must blend opposites;
gain and loss,
joy and sorrow,
fear and wisdom,
triumph and failure,
sadness and gratitude,
highs and lows,
pleasure and pain,
light and shadow,
into a swirling wonder without names or definitions.
To be whole we must break down our minds fragmentation,
the chasm between possession and freedom,
the divide between what we think we deserve and what we have,
the fracture between what we think should be,
and the acceptance of WHAT IS.
Objective awareness and compassion are the only cure for this wretched wound.
To be whole we must live a life with both the darkness and light, as they are our origin and structure.
We are a product of love which holds joy and pain together with grace.
