“Our fascination with reality begins with our ability to distinguish between opposites. It is the source and foundation of all higher intelligence.”
– Frank Elkins (Book I Dualism)
PREFACE
Welcome Everybody!
This week I continue to maintain my commitment to holiday brevity with a very personal consideration; this poem is very much a reflection of myself. Earth & Sky contrasts the distinctions between day and night as well as the symbolism and metaphors that go with them. The essential message is that Day is a beautiful thing, manifesting the clarity of life. However, Night is also a beautiful thing with its own set of enticing metaphors and symbolism. How does one choose between the two? Answer: you don't.
You embrace both!

It reflects life not as a choice between contradictory forces, but more as a blending and balancing of positive and negative interdependent variables.
Earth & Sky recognizes and emphasizes a philosophy of understanding and an appreciation for the complexity of the world, focusing on a need to embrace and maintain its balance in your life. It also directly reflects my attempt to appreciate and consider both sides of an argument, issue, situation, or person. Life is most often about balance.
