Ecology in Daoist Harmony: Man & Nature

Universe's pulses mirror in body and spirit; all seek a perfect, exquisite, harmonious yin-yang balance.

June 15, 2022

One Way // One Innerself
Two opposites // body vs soul
Four seasons // four limbs
Five elements // five senses
Seven days // seven emotions (sins?)
Twelve months // twelve energy channels
Twenty four hours (or solar terms) // twenty four spine vertebrae
Thirty hundred sixty five days // so many meridian points in a human body

All so exactly correlated, corresponding, cooperative
To be balanced as if between yin and yang
