L&G Recommendation series No. 2 : Light & Darkness
(Photo Collaboration with Robin Stein for Vignette Jewelry collection)
We'd like to continue to share some recommendations on building resiliency mentally, physically, and creatively in these uncertain times.
It's an understatement to say there's a lot of darkness in our world right now. It is feeling like an all-encompassing cloud. However, with any darkness, there's a counterforce of lightness. However dim it may seem now, it's important to recognize these two things always exist in tandem and essential in bringing true harmony physically or mentally.
This week, we dive into the duality of opposites as a means to understand our current position and our future.
