This is a nice post. I imagined a little shining marble hovering above an infinite obsidian plane when you were describing the yin/yang dichotomy, and I think that saying these things are not opposites but duals is a brilliant choice of words. I’m going to keep this dichotomy in mind as a lens through which to see various situations.
Cute little side note: keeping “lenses through which to see various situations” in your toolbox is a Space Mom move. It’s a thing you do that helps you generate possibilities or ideate, rather than a pair of scissors that helps you prune. I think I used to not see why a “lens” would ever be useful, and this post helped me understand it.
