Haiku – shadow and light

~
Are you drawn to light?
Or the intriguing shadows?
Balance comes with both
~

I love going to Chanticleer at different times of the day and noticing the subtle changes. We are moving into warmer times, and the woods beckon me, more and more.

The bold colorful blossoms worshiping the sun attract the attention of many people – in the garden and in life. We are drawn to the light, the outer, the active, the fun, the fast moving, pleasures of summer! In Chinese philosophy this is described as a Yang experience. The counter balance to this is Yin, where we embrace the dark, the inner, the hidden, the mysterious, the pause and letting go.

We cannot have one without the other. True balance comes when we recognize both and appreciate the whole. Not being attached to either. Knowing that it will continue to evolve and change.

Namaste
