We struggle to live and accept the duality of our natures and also of nature. We see this duality in nature through the existence of male and female plants, mountains and valleys, oceans and deserts, day and night, summer and winter, the list is endless. We may recognise these different sides of nature but we tend to not recognise the same patterns in our lives. We have western medicine and traditional medicine, masculine and feminine instincts, established religion and african spirituality. What is worse than not recognising, is the habit we have of wanting to impose one over another instead of allowing the natural co-existence that should be there between these different states. After all, you need rain as much as you need sunshine!
