By Means of Opposites...

The servile earth and the lofty sky: without this opposite the sky would not be so high.
The low and high of the earth are winter and spring.
The low and high of time are night and day.
The low and high of the body are sickness and health.
By means of these opposites the world is kept alive; by means of these doubles souls feel fear and hope.

- Rumi, "Mathnawi"

Ponder the wisdom of creation and the unity in all that He Creates...
