To dance through the highs and lows
The light and dark
The joys and sorrows
The laughs and tears
To feel like a river flowing one moment and still as a rock another

To feel alive in the sparks of sunlit trees
And sullen through the dark velvety midnight sky
To glisten in sweat in summer afternoons
And be caressed by the crisp air of colorful fall evenings
With eyes of hope warming by the fire on a wintery night
And welcome life blooming once again on a misty spring morning.

Ain’t the journey of life and perhaps our soul
A wandering of an embrace one moment and tug another
For what seems opposing may just be another side to the same
Our judgment adding separation to what may just be a facet of perspective adding depth
It is only when we glean in deeper to find
What seems black is but a shadow of white
And what seems white deep in its smallest finite pore is black
To gaze at the light of the sun only to be blinded by its brilliance
And find light peeping through a crack in a dark room

The ombre of our experiences fading into one another
From white to black and light to dark joy to sorrow
To live life through the dwandvas (dualities)
Only to allow them let you peak into their deepest secrets
where the boundaries blur
And the clouds of virtue
transcend us into that
Colorless bliss of liberation
Where the only truth in existence is oneness and unity.

This is the story and celebration of
Our journey from Dwandva (duality) to Kaivalya (liberation)!
