Dissolution

Moon

A broken line

Conceived of the earth

Even numbers

Absorbing

Dark - crude

Negative

Passive

Femaleness

Yin

In eternal succession, we dance the Dao

I inhale, you exhale, you exhale, I inhale - primordial breath split in two

Complementing each other – divinely complete in I and you

An inter-dependent, spinning circle, of alternating time and space

Dark side - sunny side – wound together, tight, in a cosmic embrace

As a pair of opposites, we can produce ten thousand things – but alone and apart - like a lepton without a quark - none

It is no accident, that understanding can come from both a 0 and a 1

Shadow and light, absorb and penetrate – like endless night and day

Harmony, disharmony, increasing, decreasing, constantly interplay

In eternal succession, we dance the Dao

Yang

Maleness

Active

Positive

Light - ethereal

Penetrating

Odd numbers

Conceived in heaven

An unbroken line
