We are adapted, not to the world of objects, but to the meta-realities of order and chaos, yin and yang. We eternally inhabit order, surrounded by chaos. To straddle this fundamental duality is to be balanced: to have one foot firmly planted in order and security, and the other in chaos, possibility, growth and adventure.

The subjective meaning that we encounter precisely on the border of order and chaos is the reaction of our deepest being. It’s as if the knowledge of your body and soul falls into alignment with the knowledge of your intellect. Here, knowledge is not only descriptive, it is prescriptive. This is the kind of knowing what that helps you know how. The juxtaposition of yin and yang portrays that The Way, the path of life, exists on this border. Walking it is to stay on the path of life.

And that’s much better than happiness
