Yin / Yang
Between the light and the darkness there is a region called mind. It contains all you will need to know about living in this world where physical material comes from thought - thought being the process of living, and yes, physical material the end result of your own mind.
This region is about to be illuminated with light from one end, and intensified by the darkness from the other. "Why is this about to be?", is the single most asked question of the human mind.
In the story you write, this question is answered. But it is never recognized as an answer, for you are always opening and closing your eyes, and never become accustomed to the dark, or join with the light to be less blinded by its intensity while you are alive.
In the blinking of your eyes, you rip open your world and put it back together without ever knowing you do so. To be ripped open is illumination, to be put back together is agreement to conform again.
When you find insight you sing with discovery, but in an instant you are right back where you started, confused by the contradictions of this human existence.
Fierce living is needed now if you are to never again blink.
Where will your fierceness come from? It comes from your natural inclination to be your best. This is a part of that region of light and dark called mind.
