We seek to mine the riches of the dark sides of life in this Musing. There are more gifts than we may have noticed in the down times. We already know that we go through these passages for cleansing and self-knowledge, and that we have experienced great awakenings following these difficult events. While we will comment briefly on these issues, we are more interested in investigating how we navigate the light/dark dialectic in our daily lives. We look at how our attitudes about the relationship between the yin and the yang can make a huge difference in how we choose to live our lives. And we talk about the fascinating mystery of it all, and what it can mean to us to invite the mystery into the depths of our being.
