more yin less yang
@aredotna — words by Ursula K Le Guin
i love the language used here to describe the traits that might lean the scales of our collective experience more towards Balance.
“what would a yin utopia be? it would be dark, wet, obscure, weak, yielding, passive, participatory, circular, cyclical, peaceful, nurturant, retreating, contracting, and cold.”
excerpt from Ursula K. Le Guin, A Non-Euclidean View of California as a Cold Place to Be
to this vision of a yin utopia, i might add: we surrender to the unknown, release any attempts to control others, and move with gentle compassionate guidance instead. we uplift power from within instead of power over, as starhawk gives us language for. or power with.* we move with trust in the guidance of the divine. deep trust. leaning into body wisdom, which looks like knowing how to pay attention to the body’s cues for slow, quiet, solitude or rest. deep listening. we cultivate wild creativity. creativity as divinely guided, and in service of the whole. going yinward might look like accepting, with generosity, the presence and teachings of death. maybe.
this yin utopia is what i mean when i say that we’ve entered the age of the divine feminine, which is what womxn, the magazine woven together with community in 2016, was all about. read more about that by clicking this button:
