Duality

Mixed emotions can be seen as mixed blessings. But personally I believe that we are all experiencing opposite emotions at exactly the same time - this is called duality. I first experienced this when I was in India four years ago. Words are not enough to describe the experience, but speaking of words; it was this experience that enabled me to really explore how I am feeling in this moment, which always contains such paradoxical feelings it can do nothing but create a rich tapestry for writing. Many people fear delving deep within their emotions, too unsure of what they will find, maybe even too scared to actually feel, who knows. but writers must must must throw themselves into the depth of their emotions for if we don't, what we produce will just merely skim the surface and what would be the point of that? Exactly. Be different and be brave enough to be vulnerable - then see what your mind creates for you.
