. So many contrasts in life:
.
Complexity and simplicity,
Blue skies and grey days,
Winter and spring,
Warmth and cold.
Dualities everywhere.
.
And the experience of one
depends on our knowledge
of the other.
Life is not life
without death.
.
So why do we persist in seeing
black as the opposite of white?
.
Black and white is not a duality
it is a whole.
Snow again? brr.. photos is beautiful- the contrast of snowy branches and blue sky always impresses me. I love the photo of reed. And poem is nice:)
ReplyDeleteLove photo of the cattails.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is so true:
"And the experience of one
depends on our knowledge
of the other.
Life is not life
without death. "
