It has been said the universe itself comprises opposites, which are the product of natural laws. In their natural state they exist in harmony with each other and are necessary counterpoints contributing to overall balance and stability, even when harmony involves dynamic, creative opposites.
Perhaps we might like to practice holding natural opposites, extremes, and contradictory experiences in a creative and coherent way. We might like to call this equanimity – a calm levelheadedness - even in the presence of chaotic and seemingly conflicting appearances. Perhaps we may like to cultivate and rely on this unassailable foundation for wise action. Comments are closed.
