DUALITY

DUALITY   In the progress of our works We see the hands that create They build and keep for us to use Imagine the might of this creating force That made you, me and all   As we wonder in awe From grief of unwanted losses Imagine the phantom hues of decay In the might of the destroying waves That would take from us at will   These hands are right and left I suppose, from one and the same The twins we wrongly interpret It could be birth and death combined

In rebirth, working in accordance with the law

  A hand at depths, a hand at heights Brings a balance to life everlasting Let us reason together, one with the other On the duality of our Indivisible God Our universal King

Duality

Dare I say a balanced piece well written, having lived in Africa but under different ways, I did see the two at work, to become one as all things do, and I always stuck to my belief of right and wrong although it had to be hidden sometimes. It is hard sometimes to understand others ways of looking at things, as their structure is as the right hand and left hand, but it would be great to have that balance that your King has in his ways. We need to have writers tell the truth of all nations, to start the belief in the one true way. Yours Ian.T

Your work never offends me, Iboro.

You should try harder [joking]. It always leaves me with a sense of wisdom and compassion. Have you ever read William Blake's "The Tiger"? I think you might like it. Unity, Duality, Trinity, the 4 elements of wind and wicca, pentagrams, hexagrams, lucky seven, unlucky 13, plurality. Wisdom is everywhere. So is a lot of silliness. cheers, Jess

In the "DUALITY",

I see a chain of events inter-connecting Like the "Holy Trinity", three persons in one God all together surrounding this simple but strange "Man" in this "Lower Heaven". I always admire your "Word Use" --- "master of riddles" Your student writes... Golly Wonder.

DUALITY

Man & woman, day & night, Good & evil, white & black, up & down, wisdom & foolishness, etc. These are all aspects of one indivisible God. Thanks for the comment and for the reading. Best wishes. T.
