Always in Fashion
One thing leads to another. Day becomes night, night becomes day. Clarity fades into confusion. It’s always darkest before the dawn… and then all will be good again, until it’s not. LOL. If you persuade yourself to think of color as a state, and you acknowledge that static states are illusory, it becomes easier to appreciate just how unusual black and white really are. Change, impermanence, transition pervade us and everything we do. Thus, everything is gray. Yet, we demand that things be either black or white, unless it better suits you to delay decision… in which case you’ll see nothing but shades of hazy gray wherever you look — which works really well for some people, too. But others, who prefer to act, will have to muster this or that, yay or nay, a zero or a one… in other words, decide. And because in such cases one is really just as good as another, why not bet with your fashion sense?

[…] It is a strange thing to feel yourself agreeing with the “Other Side”. We cultivate hard lines to polarize the populace and compel conflict, because the wheels would simply cease to turn… “… without the energy that conflict brings into the mix. […]
