Yin and Yang Alternate to Make a Life
As the time of childhood flows between light and dark, joy and grief, how do they all become one life?
One yin, one yang — this is called the Way; to carry it on is the good.
The I Ching called the alternation of one yin and one yang the Way, and carrying it on the good.
📝The Classic Answers
The I Ching called the alternation of one yin and one yang the Way, and carrying it on the good. I read this line layered over the time of childhood. In the world where a child grows, warm light and cool dark, the joy of feasts and the grief of loss, come by turns. There is no life of one side only; the very rhythm of brightness and darkness pushing and alternating weaves a person's life. That a child who has known grief can laugh again is because yin and yang call to each other and carry life on. To affirm that carrying-on is itself the good. Rather than trying to cut only the dark seasons out of life, I choose to accept them as a pattern woven together by light and dark.

If you are passing through a dark season, accept it not as a stain to erase from life but as 'one grain that forms the pattern together with the light.'
