Balance
"With out darkness would we appreciate the light?
if there is good with no bad is it still good,
if death was abolished would life still be as glamorous,
if night were to fade and day were to last would we still dream,
Without Balance would we still exist?"
from the Dairy of Persephone
I remember today my mother asked me how I could be happy being torn between two worlds.
I unthinkably replied "How could I not for no matters were I go someone will love me…"
I never gave it much thought then but why am I happy living this way, grieving every time I leave my lover for my mother or my mother for my lover.
Why do I enjoy basking in the warmth and tasting the sweet nectar of the fruit which confides me in the middle of both worlds?
What I'm I the center of a balance which holds the weight of other upon its shoulders!...maybe, just maybe that is who I am;
I am balance between light and darkness,
balance between life and death,
balance between the coming of spring and the changing leaves of fall,
I am the balance between two worlds each with its own beauty.
I am Persephone Queen of the underworld, Wife of Hades.
I am Kore Goddess of Spring daughter of Demeter but most of all I am balance, between two lives now and after.
The fates have told me and destiny has chosen me to sit at the center of that balance that is my duty only to be accomplished with….
