The Balanced Path

A true spiritual path does not seek to separate good from evil, beautiful from grotesque, or honesty from deceit. A true spiritual path seeks unity, harmony and acceptance of all forces within, knowing that one does not exist without the other. Wishing balance to you this blessed day!
