Push and pull
Empty and full
Ebb and flow
Learn and know
A balance of inwardness
And outwardness
I wish I could explain
The twists and turns of this lane
Dark and light
Day and night
Observing and living
Receiving and giving
Thereโs a dream to be at peace
Thereโs a knowing itโs within range
With a smile and a breath of release
This feeling is a message no longer strange
Ace + Benjamin

Another duet (or should I say, universal song ๐) with the incredible, Ben!! We hope this reminds you to let your inner balance sing!
