MATES 

[The theme of this communication revolves around the arena of judgement. We place too much emphasis on one side or the other in the course of our lives. An attitude of Balance gives equal respect to the One Source from which all these dualities come. Things that seem separate and antagonistic are, it seems, really Mates.]

Order, Confusion

Children of Light

Cycles of Knowing

And Ignorant Night

Essence of Daylight

And dark evening’s shade

ALL from the same Artist’s brush

Are ALL made. 

And We, as Observers,

In Life’s Gallery

Must never prejudge

The Creations we see.

And, those times when Chaos

Will rear it’s old face

Remember Disorder

Also has it’s Place.

Without some Destruction

Creation stops too,

Without the materials

To build things anew.

Don’t focus on one

While neglecting it’s Mate,

For both of them Give

And both of them Take. 

We’re never assured

Of just what is Right

We must embraceboth

These Children of Light.

For Time has a way

Of amending our views

And what once was prudent

Hindsight would undo.

“Good” and then “Evil”,

Darkness and Light

Roller coast back

And forth in our Sight.

Because they are Equal

And part of the ONE,

To attempt separation

Will see You undone.

These Forces seek balance

And won’t be denied,

Or their opposite number

Will rush to their side.

So, routing out “Evil”

And embracing the “Good”,

Won’t have the effect

That You thought that it would!

Overbalancing "Water"

Must bring about "Fire"

And in larger amounts

Than at First (or desired).

So be fully at Peace

With All that is done

Know “Daylight” and “Evening”

Are Eternally ONE.
