Learning through the polarities of Earth

I am reading lately about how we learn through experiencing the polarities of Earth life - dark/light, joy/sorrow. It is midwinter in New Zealand; minus two degrees this morning. I don't handle the cold well, and am very grateful for my log fire and warm house.

This week I am going to Queensland for ten days, where the temperature is over twenty degrees. I will really appreciate the warm weather because of the cold weather here. A friend has just returned from ten days in Queensland and said the weather was 'boring'!

We learn so much from working with the polarities of Earth.
