A poem for the Equinox: In this poem I explore Harmony and how it is not this or that but a synergy of seeming opposites working together
Equanimity
Beyond the realm of time and space beyond duality that we now face is a place of peace and harmony where all things are exactly as they should be.
There is no fighting this or that there is not "this is better than that,"there is only the perfect song of everything working as it moves along.
This place holds a secret—this is true—that the two we think we see are not really one force against another but one in truth, they work not together but as one to make sure that this universe is run.
Fire and water seem so different, you see, one seems to foster the life of a tree, while the other seems to burn it down, destroying everything all around. But consider this carefully: water destroys too, yet both can bring new life through.
Chaos and order seem another pair that always seem to be fighting—but let’s be fair, they are two sides of the same coin. In essence, they work as one with you, helping you to see this world of duality through.
And last comes love and fear, you see, and here is something so interesting—Love is the source, the divine spark, Fear, a mirage—a trick of the mind. One is a force while the other is a lie, and it is only through which perceptual eye you choose to see your life through that will tell you what is true for you.
At the end of the day, it is up to you: will you use all to help or hinder you?
Will you fight for just one way or will you open yourself to another way?
Will you seek harmony in which all things shine or will you seek balance, which tells you there is a certain place and time? Whichever one you choose to see, know that within you, we ask you to see that you are not this or that, but you are everything wrapped up in all that.
So stop fighting yourself and come into harmony true—you are a blessing to both me and you.
