Little Wings

People are quite good at grouping together based on what is the same about them, but when we say 'opposites attract', I think it might be because of this thought that duality actually does work to set things in motion. When dual elements unite around a central goal, their movement can be powerful even in tension.

In diverse communities where we live alongside radically different views to our own, so long as we seek common goals then why shouldn't our contrasting experiences serve to hold us together, fluttering with life and perpetually moving forward?

Here, in duality, everything comes together. The left and the right. The east and the west. The male and the female. Shade honours light. An idea that exists in a vacuum has no critical balance and will not grow because it has nothing else to move around. Alone, it will not find its flight-worthy motion when the wind comes. 

Little helicopters — flicker, flicker, flicker — carrying seeds into the places where they will grow. Two wings spread in opposite directions, joined in the centre, perfectly balanced to fly as they fall together.

The tension of duality gives the seed wing.
