Modern culture highly values what is obvious: big, solid, reliable, well-formed, and flawless. In short, anything you can lean on confidently—something that predictably grows every day.
People tend to view the less obvious with doubt, suspicion, or even ridicule. They scoff, “What’s the use of something tiny, nascent, and half-transparent? Sure, it’s there—but is it really?”
"Grow up and earn your place under the sun; then we’ll talk."
But every massive thing was once small. The timeframes vary, but this is true for everything: stars, continents, termite colonies, scientific paradigms—even you.
For example, are you the "you" of today? Or of last year? Maybe your teenage self? Or the child you once were? Perhaps the moment you were born? Or when you were conceived? Or could it be when your mother and father first locked eyes?
Clearly, you existed long before you ever realized it.
Your Yin and Yang found each other and began their creative synthesis long before any participants or observers noticed. Moreover, the principle of creation, Dao, brought forth your Yin and Yang. Dao is Logos, Meaning, Truth, Cause, Universal Order, and more.
In the ancient text Tao Te Ching, the Dao is described as unspeakable, empty, invisible, eternal—the origin of all things. The Stoics described the Logos as the ethereal, fiery soul of the cosmos, carrying the potential to shape all forms. Logos is the word of a personal and living God—a word that “calls out” to things and brings them into being (according to Wikipedia).
All explicit forms eventually deplete, wither, decay, or vanish. But not Logos—the eternally living soul of the cosmos, the inexhaustible source of creating Something out of Nothing.
It turns out, within you is a spark of divine power that brought you into the world, helped you grow, understand, love, and be loved, and uncover the hidden meaning of it all.
Logos was, is, and always will be within you. Each of us is free to hinder it, diminish it, or become part of it.
I hope 2025 brings you joyful surprises—and that you surprise it, others, and yourself.
I believe in your power to transform your world.
Yours sincerely,
-Alexander
