Yin & yang unite when the mind stops.
This insight comes in flashes as you face fear.
With correct practice these flashes become a steady stream of light.
You are truly blessed to know you have no choice.
I am with you out of time.
John wrote this poem in 1992 for Larry Koenig who was a student dying of leukemia. John would probably cut the Yin/yang reference now. In the last 15 years he has moved almost entirely away from the Chinese influence in his art and has concentrated on the Celtic/Irish connexion which comes through his family and other teachings he has received.
