For every sun beam, there is a shadowBut not every shadow is simply a darkness, it can also be a cooling respite from the sun.For everything good, an underside to the bellyFor every warmth, there is a tearFor every cruelty, a kindnessBut every tear is not of cruelty, some are born of kindness….and similarly, not every warmth is a kindness, but can be a crueltyFor every right there is a leftTo north, there is a southBut if you travel far enough north, you will eventually find you are heading south.For every gift, a price has been paidFor every song, an ear that could not hearFor every beauty an eye that could not seeIn every heart an imperfection, a love to give and a heart that hurtsYou want to be near enough to the fire to warm your hands and feet, but not too close, or you may burn.The world is wrapped in duality.So, how do we see God?By rising beyond the duality.We can love the sun for its warmth and find the shade in the shadow.Sudharma Devi Dasi
