Fiona Gavino – Duality
Order and Chaos are not mutually exclusive; they are intertwined and inseparable. This is duality, a profound concept originating in ancient philosophies, like weaving itself. In the natural world light and dark, order and chaos do not exist exclusive of each other they are intertwined and inseparable. Duality is an honoring of the delicate balance that governs the natural world, teaching us that within the diversity of life, there is an underlying interconnectedness of all the natural systems.
