หยิน หยาง


Two opposites:
Each rests upon the other
Each precedes and yet follows
Each contains a bit of the other
Each is incomplete without the other
Each is defined by a contrast to the other
Together they are whole
The ten thousand things are enfolded in them
And there is still room for infinitely more
This is the wellspring of what we call life
And the wading pool for life that is failing
Turn it around, look at it any way you like
It's symmetrical and strong
It doesn't need anything else.

The "subtitle" ought to be a yin-yang symbol. It is (believe it or not) an actual Unicode character: U+262F. For the HTML and many other encodings, check this site:

On my usual machine it appears correctly, however on the one I am currently using it appears as a question mark. I'm looking into why that is exactly.

In the meantime, if you get the question mark, think of it as a small yin-yang =)
