I am one within myself,
one being with the
essence of two
in my core.
Like koi in a pond, the yin and yang of my
central being
swim round each other,
head to tail to head to tail.
But there’s more to my human existence.
I am not just the fish in unity, I am as
vibrant snakes
coiling the human spine.
The two as one.
In jest, we speak of
the angel and
the demon
perched on our shoulders.
Not a fiction to fear, but a truth to admire.
Yin and Yang, immersed in the eternal waltz of unity,
search for acceptance and balance
of the twisting, never-ending spiral
that is the eternal good and evil of self.
What humanity seeks is full balance
of the evil and good within,
loving all and doing no harm
as a perfect, true balance of self.
Being one within oneself, accepting the two as one, is having a true existence.
Love yourself, my friends, and learn to make the devil and the angel work in harmony within yourself.
