Perfect balance between light and dark

Part of my everyday routine is to thank the sun, earth and moon for their absolutely marvelous gifts that we simply could not live without.

The sun for light, warmth, energy and movement.

The earth for absence of light, coolness, stability and calmness.

The moon (the Goddess) who balances all of this and without which we would have chaos.

So today while doing Yoga, it occurred to me that shadows are a perfect reflection of this balance. There could be no shadow without the presence AND absence of light. And this perfect balance creates the beautiful interplay of light and dark that gives our dimension depth and beauty. I see it every day on the trees and every living thing and, of course, on those majestic mountains I love so well.

So I learned that it is just as important to have an absence of light (night, for example). It has it's own place in the grand scheme of the Universe.

Loving regards,
Joy
