The first is the skillful use of existing resources .... The second is a focus on the importance of yin as background and what is non-present or unseen."</i><br />-- from YinYang, by Robin Wang<br /><br />Hmmm. Somebody ought to write a book about that.<br /><br />After the Winter's Solstice in December, I have noticed that I can see some movement, some stirring in plants by the first week of January, <i>i.e.,</i> yang in the midst of Max Yin. It's the same now, around the 4th of July, two weeks past the Summer Solstice, the garden takes on a rangy, sprawling, "nearly spent" quality (unlike the growing "promise" of Spring), <i>i.e.,</i> yin appearing in the midst of Max Yang.<br /><br />I feel fortunate to be entertained so easily. Happy Fourth!walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388218390016612051noreply@blogger.com
