Seeking Clarity

Figure Eight by Franz Kline












life in constant flux
we explore our center core
seeking clarity

much like yin and yang
attempting to find balance
in uncertainty

embracing the gray
in a world of black and white
a constant struggle

inner peace renewed
chaos ceases to exist
once more we are whole

Chinese symbols, Yin and Yang

  1. This is so inspirational... peace and balance comes from our center core when we are still enough to let it happen.

  3. Ah, yes! That perfect, clear balance. Nicely put!

    ps......an ex of mine (waaaay back!) had the symbols tattooed on his shoulders - dumped me soon after. What a waste of ink!!

    1. Tess, I just rephrased that one line to have it make more sense, to make it all-encompassing! Sometimes after spending so much time working on the composition, I miss the simplest of changes that can make a big difference in the meaning. Thanks!

  7. The struggle to stay at center pretty much defines the way of life. The choices we make to stay in balance are in the end the sum of our life's work. Well stated here, Ginny. Lovely.
