The oyster,

by living harmoniously in nature,

illustrates the balance of the natural world. 

The oyster takes adversity in its existence and instead of perishing,

takes the opportunity to create a beautiful pearl. 

This process of creation reminds us that nature balances the relationship of all elements,

positive and negative,

to sustain a harmonious existence. 

We need to look to nature as an example of how to balance our daily lives.

balance + harmony
