We live in what is known as a Duality. This is for reasons of intrinsic safety. For every thought, there is a not-thought. For every way, there is a new way. For every view, there is another perspective. Free yourself from what binds you and seek out the Third Way.

Just for today,

Embrace duality.

For every way we find,

There's another way too.

From involution comes evolution.

Just for today,

Muse on the number two.

Note how one and one can become two,

While one and one can also become one.

And while one is odd,

Two is even.

Now even that is a bit odd.

Just for today,

Play with just two ingredients.

Simmer them in different pots.

Let their vapours intermingle.

Breathe in the combined infusion.

Allow love to enter the air.

Just for today,

Melt someone's heart.

Go unconditional and be unexpected.

Notice how their smile makes you smile too.

Just for today,

Nurture your inner child.

Give them a day in the sun.

Allow them to freely run.

Just for today,

Look at the world around you.

All green objects are intrinsically purple.

They just reflect green light.

What else that you see is a mere reflection of what is inside you.

Just for today,

Be aware of your two faces.

There is one face the world usually sees.

There is another which really comes out to play.

Choose which one you want to show to the world.

Just for today,

Think about this.

In the space between the thought and the not thought,

There is a gap for the third way to appear.

Its conduit is the heart.

Just for today,

Go binary.

Switch one thing off as you engage another.

Play with the permutations and the number of bits and bytes.

Just for today,

See eye to eye.

Each of your eyes sees slightly differently.

Each of us sees the world differently too.

Take in the alternative view.

Just for today,

Be reflective.

Look back at where you have come from.

Look at who,

What and where you are now.

What you like about what you see.

What would you like to see looking back at you?

Just for today,

Tell yourself this.

I love you.

I love the very bones of you.

I love who I am for what I am.

Just for today,

Take guidance from your over-soul.

Just for this morning,

Put all plans on hold.

Meditate for an hour if you can.

Then let your day be shown to you.

Just for today,

Go for a walk in love.

Love all you see around you.

Love all you feel inside of you.

Radiate love from every pore.

If you're a dog,

Make that every pore.

Just for today,

Mix things up.

Embrace the notion of Yan and Ying.

Flip everything on its head.

Say hi to new ways to be.

Just for today,

Go for a walk in love.

Just for today,

Take guidance from your over-soul.

Just for today,
