TEXT
- day and night, summer and winter, rain and dry weather high and low tide succeed each other;
- joy and sorrow, encouragement and discouragement alternate;
- in relationships we meet and separate;
- we change work and rest, sleeping and waking;
- biological processes are cyclical: hunger and satiation, the heart beats and rests, lungs breathe in and breathe out
