The Two Dots

Back to where they belong

The black dot faced ostracism from its community; the members of the white sea screamed: “NO to impurity”.

It felt confused, alone, and disoriented. Rolling purposelessly was all it did.

Somehow it climbed a mountain — by rolling upwards, yes— ; exhausted from the heat, but it could never guess…

It sat on a little stone that was next to a cliff. What if they were right? What if…, what if…?

At some point, it felt that something touched its back side; it turned around and saw the back of a dot white.

Same shape, different colour it thought automatically. It must have been banished from the black sea.

They believed I spoiled their perfect blackness, said the white dot in perfect calmness.

Seven spirals of time have passed from the moment of our banishment. Haven’t they seen yet the consequences of our vanishment?

The black dot “saw” in a flash rewind, clear and sparkling, all the bizarre phenomena that took place as it was travelling.

They still don’t get it, the white dot continued; but they will when their eyes will be ready for a truth nude.

The balance of the Cosmos is lost now and then, but the pendulum’s movement is a Law proven again and again.

They felt the vibration from the guts of the Earth, and an earthquake made them lose their balance and breath.

They rolled and rolled as the huge mountain was shaking, washing away things that didn’t belong on its “skin”.

The dynamic descent seemed totally random and purposeless, so, they thought that life in their “veins” was becoming less and less.

Both the crashes happened synchronously, pain-free; each dot landed where it was supposed to be.

The black dot felt the warmth of the white sea once more and the white dot was embraced by the black waters it looked for.

The mountain’s notional axis became calm and stable suddenly, tuned to the frequency of the Laws that answer everything if we look carefully.
