From my own experience!<BR/><BR/>Coming to your verse & the explanation....<BR/>The dark negative feminine & the bright positive masculine principles in Chinese dualistic cosmology together produce everything that comes into existence. The outside influence & the inner strength whether its the yin or the yang which will burst out would influence the course of nature one takes. Remember, the interaction of yin and yang maintains the harmony of the universe.Mirandianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184089453204869052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965853561880958742.post-20740195580693200022007-12-15T10:42:00.000+05:302007-12-15T10:42:00.000+05:30no..dont dance on stage...on the floor, sometims :...no..dont dance on stage...on the floor, sometims :)<BR/>now on the poem...this meaning dawned on me when I was stiing under a bodhi tree:<BR/>===============================<BR/>the man & the woman are yin and yang, both lie dormant inside us...struggling to break free, till some external trigger moves us...some beat that reaches out to us, makes us move...many a time against normative constructs (fundu) and killing the gods we created inside...but we still need outside help..some demons to be partners in crime..but while the cosmic wholesomeness happens at the conceptual level, the truth/reality is what we touch/feel...the sweat, the dust...and the consequence of what we do..it can defean you with its explosion or lift you beyond all noice...to sweet wholesome emptiness...shoonyata..<BR/>========================<BR/>wow :)))Shoonyatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050162752019456384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965853561880958742.post-80556307913326288812007-12-14T23:08:00.000+05:302007-12-14T23:08:00.000+05:30Just when I thought I loved the lines you started ...Just when I thought I loved the lines you started out with you foxed me....now i'm confused and came to know you are too....<BR/>Do u dance too???Pratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849938760602815322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965853561880958742.post-81287425189175364562007-12-14T14:21:00.000+05:302007-12-14T14:21:00.000+05:30I help a contemporary dance group too www.attakkal...I help a contemporary dance group too www.attakkalari.org Check them out.<BR/>I am also trying to decipher it after writting it...let me know if you crack it first :)Shoonyatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050162752019456384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965853561880958742.post-28179470668292787002007-12-14T14:12:00.000+05:302007-12-14T14:12:00.000+05:30The free flowing sketch reminded me of my times sp...The free flowing sketch reminded me of my times spent with a Contemporary Dance Group...long time ago!<BR/><BR/>As for your verse, I'm trying to decipher it! <BR/><BR/>And Shoon, thanks for your such positive words on my Blog.
