Macro Principal Six: Opposites Attract

The author puts it, Opposites Attract, Like repels Like.  In all honesty, I think the whole opposites / extremes point has been driven home sufficiently in principals 3, 4, and 5.  I’m struggling to come up with anything new to say on the subject. 

One fun way of thinking of and using this principal is in cooking macrobiotic meals.  Or in creating artistic work (one expression of which, I truly believe, is cooking).  Think contrasting colors, flavors … things that you wouldn’t necessarily think would go together actually do great things!  Last night - for our summer of smoothies smoothie flavor, I threw the following into the blender:  one peach (with the peel on), one kiwi (peeled), two bananas, 1/3 can of organic pineapple (and juice) left over from making pineapple fried rice, a cup of green kale, and a teaspoon of cinnamon!  Where’d I come up with that cinnamon?  Not sure - just sounded interesting.  And it added a great dimension of flavor to the smoothies! 

For me this principal is license to go with my intuition, try new things, and not be afraid to throw “opposites” in a blender together.  Fabulous.
