Like an undertow in the ocean,
every advance is complemented by a retreat,
and every rise transforms into a fall.
Thus, a seed will sprout from the earth and grow upwards towards the sky - an intrinsically yang movement.
Then when it reaches its full height, it will begin to weaken, and eventually will fall back to the earth in decay - an intrinsically yin movement. Yin always contains the potential for yang, and yang for yin.
