Caught between two oranges

Oranges are magical things.
They contain orange juice and keep this for us fresh and vital for weeks at a time.

Another magical thing happened last night.
At about 7 pm the sun went down.
Round and red like an orange.
But that was not the full treatment of magic.

In the east, at the very same time, the full moon came up.
Round and red like an orange also.

The world, as it appeared here at El Triple in Baja California, Mexico was caught between two reddish round objects in the sky.
One in the west, one in the east.
Us in between oranges.

Giving an instant inspiration to meditate about transcendency.
How we are caught as human beings in dualism.
Male and female.
Good and bad.
Black and white.
Moon and sun.

While we know that the amoeba is male nor female.
Nor are our cells male or female.
They reproduce a-sexually.

And God too.
In spite of what religions tell us and showed us in images: God is not a man nor a woman.
God is above gender.
And free of dualism.

In fact, the concept of God, the concept of eternity, the concept of origin, all these things are beyond our capability of thinking.
They are things that do not fit into our mind .

We are caught between two oranges.
