The Tango of Yin and Yang: A Dance Between Two Lovers

The Universe is beyond reason

Beyond a unified theory of everything

It defies scientific certainty

It eludes string theory, M-theory

And most certainly eluded Einstein

The Universe is beyond faith

Beyond religion

It defies the certainty of a God creator

It eludes the Bible, the Torah and the Koran

And most certainly eluded the Buddha

It is unpredictable yet self-organizing

Unintelligent yet gives rise to intelligence

It evolved from that which was not

Into that which is and will be

To experience is the goal

Coming together is its means

Complexity is the key

Unification is its strength

It lives through every atom

It lives through every star

It lives through every conceivable form and mind

It lives to experience what you take for granted

It lives, through you and it lives through me

It is a battle of the opposites

Between existence and non-existence

Born of one another

In a dance of being and non-being

Destruction and creation

It is the tango of Yin and Yang

A dance between two lovers

A dance of love and passion

The eternal infinite primordial couple

Moving they are the Tao

Together give birth to ten thousand beings

To live, to love, to be loved

To dance in the face of destruction

To create in the face of hopelessness

To come together in the face of insurmountable odds

To experience the Tango of Yin and Yang

This thing you call existence
