Freewrite on the words Resonance and Dissonance by Alexandra Michel

Resonance and dissonance,

Balance between the two.
Yin and yang,
light and dark,
the harmony created by two opposing forces.
The beauty of synchronous sound interrupted by the surprise of a
clash.
Waves crashing,
periods of time where the water is still. Silent.
Dormant falls the air at sunrise, when the sun begins to calm the winds of a rough night at sea.
Yet that rough sea triggers something laying asleep during the day.
--It is not during the calm, but on a stormy night in the shadows that this power begins to form within. A stirring inside begins to awaken a new day in the darkest hour.
It releases in the dissonance of the waves crashing and splashes up on the clean sand--
But, without the peace after the storm, I would not make meaning of the splash; it would just be a mess.
As the waves settle again, that eruption stays active in mind, giving strength to move forward.
Enjoying the day of sun, darkness will soon come again welcoming the inevitable clash that is yet to come.
This cycle of tighten and release is ever present in every living thing.
It is both what fuels us and uses us up.
It is a continuum. A force that never sleeps.
Though the waves lie dormant in the bright sunlight, the winds will stir and dissonance will come of resonance.
Still, the dissonance must run its course; posing questions and challenging every silence.
Stirring. Awakening. Living. Breathing. Fighting. and letting go...
The cycle has no mind.
These opposites exist within each other.
They keep us moving on.
