November 28, 2015: The Hammer Speaks

Without the valley there can be no mountain

Without darkness there can be no light

Without an end there can be no beginning

Without injustice there can be no virtue

Without evil there can be no good.

Without death, life is meaningless.

And so it is, this temporal existence

This union of opposites, joined at the hip.

Two sides of the same coin

The rhythm, the yin and yang

Each justifying; each compelling, the other. 

Some are born posthumously

Some speak epigrammatically

Some philosophize with a hammer.

The hammer speaks.
