Life is Contrast

 

“If you have attained something, this is the surest proof that you have gone astray. Therefore, not to have is to have, silence is thunder, ignorance is enlightenment.”D.T. Suzuki

 

 

In the silence, come the answers.

 

After darkness comes light.

 

To gain most, we must know what it is to lose it all.

 

After the storm is calm.

 

We gain freedom by letting go.

 

We achieve more by chasing less.

 

We lose control as we seek to control.

 

Still waters have a current underneath.

 

At the edge of complexity lies simplicity.

 

Change is the changeless state.

 

Life is in the contrasts.  Life is contrast.
