It is in grief that you come to understand the flow of the Universe. A paradox reveals itself: destruction gives rise to clarity, and surrender becomes a form of strength. Opposites are not in conflict — they are the syntax of existence. What breaks also binds. What ends also begins. Light leans into shadow. Stillness follows rupture. The cosmos does not move in answers, but in tensions that hum with truth.
