When you read the story — any story, from pulp novels to the Bible — black and white always seem so nicely distinguishable. So definite, the outlines ever sharp and clear.

We are deemed one or the other, the division a razor-sharp line. The gods will decide whether we are saved or doomed.

Only beings who actually dare to live and breathe know a phantasy when they see one.

Perfect balance between light and darkness happens exactly twice a year, for the briefest of moments, as day and night embrace each other like the perfect yin and yang they almost never are.

All other days our heavenly bodies are constantly moving, gently navigating the ragged edges of life, even as we are trying to stall time and stay still.
