the two lemmas

The human body shows clearly our psychospiritual dilemma (di-lemma: caught between two lemmas). We are only roughly symmetrical. Our right half is different from our left half, yet the two are joined. We act as if we are one, yet we are forever caught between two opposing positions: "on the one hand" and "on the other hand." This is both hilarious and tragic.

The human body also shows a way out of this dualistic split in which we fight our daily duels (with ourselves, of course). A center line exists, our pivot point, our hinge on which we turn. When we reside at our center, when we ARE this centering, all contra-diction (contrary speaking) disappears. The two lemmas become one Cheshire Cat which becomes a smile which slowly fades away. An internal smile is born.
