🕊️ Joy and sorrow — two ends of the same serpent. The head bears venom. Touch it, and it strikes. The tail feels harmless, soft like peace. But hold it too tightly... And it curls back to bite. We say “This is happiness,” But it waits only to turn. What slithers sweetly Still holds fangs of flame. Joy and sorrow, wound in one form. Two sides, same skin, same storm. The snake is whole — no part can be kept. What we cling to will still return and bite. Freedom lies not in grabbing joy, But in letting go of the snake entirely.
