Resistance and Receptivity

Resistance and receptivity: eternal archenemies in a relentless tug-of-war for the prize of supremacy. One cannot exist without the other yet both flutter about seeking a place to land. A useful tool for disregard, resistance follows like a shadowy figure constantly ducking in and out of psyche’s doorways. It persists with a tenacity that Taurus would be proud of as it pushes away everything regardless of value.

Then comes its opponent, receptivity, with a toothy grin and a come hither look. ‘I am open’, it shouts. ‘Come to me, I welcome you. I can see you and I can hear you. I have all that you long for within.’ Receptivity welcomes all, but only if a toll is paid. The price for passage is vulnerability.

Resistance has its place and feels very much at home with its dear friend, guardedness. Receptivity only feels at home with vulnerability. Two tag teams of energy driving down the toll road of destiny as each pushes and pulls on the wheel. Come here fate and take me to my shrine of happiness, but go away providence and keep me from that which I most fear.
Push, pull, tug and tweak in continual search for the center between these teamed enemies. Subjective midpoint persistently moves and changes as it eludes its seeker who incessantly hunts its prey.
