on autumn equinox,
when day and night are in harmony on earth
I thought of Carl Jung and his words
“in all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order”
dwelling on this duality of existence
I moved past the veil of my conscious mind
and entered the collective unconscious
aka the shadow realm
filled with fear and despair,
discarded feelings and thoughts
how could this darkness be a part of me, I asked
“the brighter the light, the darker the shadow”, he said
I sat down to contemplate
I thought about pain, that gives meaning to happiness
death, that makes life worth living
night and day, yin and yang
if I am made of stardust,
my life is full of contradictions
I am light and I am shadow
