Duality

reflecting on the realm of two

How does it feel

to have an eternal battle of light and darkness

playing out inside of you?

Sometimes pulled into the realm of bliss

before being launched right back into sadness and despair,

never knowing how long each offensive will last

or with how much fire the defense will fight back.

Fight.

It feels like a fight until one day you let go

because you’re too tired to struggle

and you feel the rhythm of the push and pull –

the expansion and contraction,

tension and release,

the friction and the flow

and you realize

that maybe it’s not a fight –

maybe it’s a dance

or sacred sex

or maybe it’s all of it.

Fighting,

Dancing,

Sex –

they’re really not that different, are they?

The action and reaction of a single force

pretending to be two –

Source energy playing with itself

for no reason at all.

So what do you feel like –

the battlefield,

the dance floor,

the sheets,

or the playground?

Because I feel like it all.
