~Two Eyes, Two Tales, One Symbol : Yin & Yang~

 "Every good person has something bad in them,

Every bad person has something good in them"

The sentence thread through my whispers as I stared at the dreamcatcher I held in my hands. I had taken a white hoop, one half wrapped with a black string. I had fixed a curved wire in the middle and secured it with a glue gun. One half of the circle was complete with a web of black string laced intricately, while the other half looked identical, only in white. A bright white bead hung in the middle of the black weaved string and a black bead was laced on the white strings on the other side. 

I spent weeks on this dream catcher, a Yin and Yang dream catcher. It was finally done, and it was perfect!

I spent another day attaching the tassels, 9 years of feather collecting was paying off as I attached the black and white feathers from my feather book on the tassels of my new dream catcher. I  attached pearl beads and black beads in a symmetric pattern and adjusted each tassel to meet perfectly with each  other. 

I stood up with my  new dream catcher, It took me forever, tons of patience and loads of concentration but it was worth it at the end. I ran to my bedroom and hung it on the light which was right next to my bed. It hung gracefully, the tassels swaying for the wind from the fan in my room. 

My eyes were drawn to the center of the dream catcher, eyeing each string and how it was laced in and out. How two strings and two beads created a beautiful Yin and Yang dream catcher.

The Yin & Yang, a symbol of two fish, one silver with eyes as dark as ebony and one another who shared the same black on it's body, but silver eyes. Just two fish, drawn in such away that they complimented each other and matched each other so perfectly. They completed each other.

It was why I loved this concept.
