The Art of Revealing Life
Life is a paradox! The myriad of life's aspects are constantly rubbing up against their opposite. It is in the interplay of the opposites that life and all its events are revealed.
Reality can only be described by binary contrasts of right/wrong, truth/non-truth, error/not error; it cannot be "revealed." It is in the intermingling of opposites, in the coaxial connections of concentric parts of the whole that life is laid bare. It is in the subtlety of life energies, flows, forms, and the emotional interactions of living beings that life unveils itself.
The same unveiling occurs in the combining dynamics forming a grain of sand as in the whole of a galaxy. Nothing exists, except in relationship to something else. It is in the gray areas, the interbreeding of causes and effects, of actions and reactions that truth is revealed.
There is no one way to describe something. But there is but one way to reveal it. And that is to not "capture" it, bind it in a cage of dogmatic process. When we wield our creativity without deference to spontaneity, we often end up putting correctness in place of brilliance, and description in place of revelation.
