Barbara commented:
“It’s trite but true: there is only a downside in relation to an upside. One can’t exist without the other.”
Marvelous tension in this comment, a universe in relation, a question being time frame – within one lifetime or several?
Where there is tension, there is connectedness. To cleave to the identity of the downside, or even the upside, is to settle, to fail to hold the tension, fail to stay in relation.
Strange world it is that requires simultaneous comfort with rootedness and transciency, particle and wave, beach or ocean, matter and spirit. Infinite depth in both – easy to get caught in one or the other, stay too long and you rot or drown.
Failure to hold is to choose to stay in one place or another, and that I cannot do. Mine is in between.
Barbara…thank you.
Shouldn't...but Do
