quote
In Chinese philosophy,
the concept of yin-yang (simplified Chinese: 阴阳; traditional Chinese: 陰陽; pinyin: yīnyáng), which is often called "yin and yang", is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many natural dualities (such as male and female, light and dark, high and low, hot and cold, water and fire, life and death, and so on) are thought of as physical manifestations of the yin-yang concept. The concept lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung) and of I Ching.

My two 'ways' are drawing and kung fu and I have always kept notes over many years of Wing Chun kung fu training.
I always draw the concepts my teachers pass on as well as my own ideas. I went to draw a Tao symbol in ink with a Japanese Aquash brush ( Pentel) and suddenly I saw that I was drawing Daruma San as well.
As founder of Shaolin Kung Fu it just seemed perfect and was certainly drawn in a 'no minded' state.
