This post is going to be weird.

If it makes no sense, ignore me. If it seems too simple (or is it too complex?) bear with my feeble struggling.

How can two diametrically opposing concepts work together simultaneously within my life in such an elegant way? Is it possible to tap into both sides equally in a balanced way? Is my focus on one, the death of the other or does my focus on one surge up the other. Equilibrium. We are always both. Two sides of the same coin.
