Pogue Colonel: You write “Born to Kill” on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What’s that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir!

The equinox is a cosmic balance point—where light and dark meet as equals, if only for a moment. It’s the universe whispering: everything exists in contrast. Day needs night. Growth needs rest. Motion needs stillness.
🥀
There are times when I find myself wanting to be the good Christian boy that turned the other cheek when challenged in a fight when I was eight. I was bullied more because I wouldn’t give in to them. One day I asked to borrow my Mom’s camera. When she asked why, I said that I liked them, they were cool, and deep down I did want to punch them, but I also wanted to take their picture.

We like to think of opposites as separate, but they are lovers, not rivals. The sun surrenders to the night, only to rise again. The seasons trade places in an eternal waltz. Even within us—joy and sorrow, strength and softness, chaos and order—exist in a delicate rhythm.
👯
The everyday practice of balance is a dance. Some days are yearning, some days are for crying, some days are for satisfaction. The Sun has been staying up just a little bit longer, it hits different parts of the room at different times, at a different angle. Just a few minutes here and there everyday, almost imperceptible unless you notice how the year is changing, and how I am changing from Johnny Yesterday to Johnny Tomorrow.
🧑🚀
The equinox reminds us: duality is not division—it is the foundation of harmony. There is no need to choose one over the other. We are meant to hold both, to shift with the tides, to embrace the full spectrum of what it means to be alive. We are the Tin Man and the Scarecrow.
🎭
For today, let yourself be both. The sun and the moon. The fire and the water. The inhale and the exhale. A being of balance, standing at the center of it all. Namaste fucker 🌞🌑✨
