centre of the circle
When we understand,
we are at the centre of the circle.
And there we sit
while Yes and No chase each other
around the circumference.

From the philosopher who made one of my favorite quotes, about dreaming he was a butterfly.

Yes! Here it is, for the benefit of those who don't know it:
"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of my individuality as a man. Suddenly I awaked, and there I lay, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a barrier. The transition is called metempsychosis."
