Binary thinking feels like it makes life simpler. Nuances don’t need to be dealt with. The definition of success or failure is clear. It’s a particle. A point. Non-binary thinking feels like it can make life more challenging. Nuances are considered. Definitions are muddled. It’s a wave of possibilities. But, when binary and when non-binary? When to keep the wave alive and when to collapse it to a point? My head hurts, telling me one thing, arguing for clarity so it can kick into planning mode. My heart hurts, yearning for understanding, for something deeper, for an acknowledgement that multiple dimensions and mulitple perspectives need recognition. It pushes me to more and more open. I feel the agony of the conflict, coursing through my body and my soul. I feel it sapping my strength and impacting the discipline of other parts of my life. Knowing that I don’t know and may never know. The binary of the non-binary. But not knowing that I know is the non-binary of the binary. And they both are happening at the same time.
