There is always a plus in the minus much as there is a minus in the plus. The blanket of life can hardly cover you all, so you must reconcile your two ends as to how they share it on alternate turns.
Under this mighty tree
I seldom sit to relax
It gives a nice shade
But bears no fruits
It is the empty in the full
Standing opposite to it
Is a dwarf-looking tree
Staggering with fruits
But offering no shade
It is the full in the empty
Excellent expression of the lesson, Abdi-Noor. Here they say every cloud has a silver lining but so it must be true that every silver lining must also have a cloud. It is the ying and the yang of all things and the universal truth that has been spoken for hundreds of years. Very nice offering.
Take care,

New Poetry by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope)
Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
This book presents a narrative story of one person's journey of transcendental Awakening and Enlightenment as guided by his two Sage companions. It is grounded in Zen Buddhist and Taoist perspective and uses the I Ching as its structural framework. T
Explains the realizations that have given the author the views of living life fully. The life each person dreams about.
You must take a look at yourself before dreams can be reached.
Deciding what is the core of belief.

that perfect tree where the pluses overwhelm
the minuses. Excellent write. -gene.
it has qualities of parable but isn't laboured
and is just right for intended impact.
