Balanced Seesaw
“Meet me on the corner and I’ll meet you on the other side. Then we can seesaw our way to a balanced life.”
~ Photo and strange quote by A.Void.
Sometimes,
(okay, many times),
one feels like being
on opposite sides of the fence.
First, this side,
then, that one.
The face changes,
like the shape of the pigs;
now fat,
now thin,
should I do this,
or that?
Yet the fence (or seesaw) does not change!
If ida & pingala can meet,
then balance can be achieved.
Sometimes,
(okay, many times),
one also feels this way being in a relationship.
Many issues are brought to the surface
so that the Light of awareness
can show us to shed old skins—
the true dance of Love
is the inner melting and merging
of Shiva & Shakti as One.
Questions for Introspection, Reflection & Meditation
Why would you tell someone to meet you on the corner but that you’d meet them on the other side? What does the other side mean? The other side of the street, other side of town, other side of the seesaw or the other side as in the afterlife?
How can you seesaw your way to a balanced life?
Why is that one feels like being on both sides of the fence? Is it about playing devil’s advocate, about being indecisive, about enjoying the ego’s play of being lost?
The wooden seesaw in the picture is one that can be easily undone and made lopsided- yet why do the words in the commentary say that the seesaw does not change?
Do the pigs in the photo represent duality and change? Are they ida and pingala?
Is the word relationship only about intimate ones, or can it also refer to all relationships, including the relationship between the part (I) and the whole (existence)?
Does the “shedding of skins” refer to the twin snakes of ida and pingala?
What does the end of the commentary “melting and merging of Shiva and Shakti” have to do with a words in the quote “a seesawed balanced life?”
Why is the category called spirit humor? What to say about these 2 pink pigs on either side of the seesaw? Is there humor to be seen in the image? In the quote?
