Moon meets Yin and Yang

Oh, Mother Moon. It's ok if you scold me a bit. I have been taking you for granted. Walking in your light, missing the restorative beauty in your smile...But tonight my soul is in need of your warmth and soothing glow.

I have had a conversation with the Yin and Yang of the world, this wretched place that you so faithfully illuminate with such beautifully muted brilliance.

The difference in human thoughts and emotions have left me hauntingly uncomfortable and extremely worried for my species.

I am writing you to share my inner turmoil at the state of abject human coldness and callousness.

Yet, juxtaposed upon this horror, is the voice of kindness, care and a genuine concern for the welfare of others.

I guess I just want to share my secret thoughts and worries that good may have a real fight on it's hands. So many are opting for the love of selfish needs.

I know, I know, there is nothing wrong with loving the self, opting to care for the self above all else....but shouldn't it be done without taking advantage of the weak and vulnerable.

Yes, you are right...we must find a balance, and act accordingly. But some do not see this as an option. They want it all...no matter what.

Here is the conversation I had with the Yin/Yang of life...Please listen, then you will understand what I mean.

~~~

Oh Yin and Yang, how wonderfully have you both prospered...triumphed

Yet, how have you treated family, friends and colleagues along the way

Yin...TY. I have tried my best to never rise, if it meant, clawing my way

climbing upon another's back, leaving them to suffer time's dark abyss.

~

Yang ... I have climbed and clawed, caring not for those not strong, for

it is the strong who will survive, let the weak all fall, I care not where

Let them pick themselves up from the mud...stop wallowing in self pity

~

But do you both feel just as equally happy and content with your choices

The one who cared and offered a hand, surely rests with peaceful dreams

While the other's nightmares haunt, causing such horrible restless sleep

~

Yin...Would that it were so...I dream of how I could have helped more

It's said that if you aid just one, you have done well enough. Yet, I worry so

There are so many who suffer...my dreams are plagued with their faces

~

Oh, my dear Yin. I am so sorry to hear you say that. But do not torture yourself unnecessarily...you are doing your best, rest easy in that knowledge. Sleep and dream of how your kindness will impact even one life positively. Rest now your soul.

Yang... Don't be silly. I sleep like a baby, I take what I want, when I want

And nothing in this world will get in my way...Only the strong survives.

~

You need to find humility Yang.

Thank you for listening Sister Moon. Until next time.

Goodnight.
