Koi Fish

This is a picture of  two koi fish circling each other. I have 10 reasons why this picture is my favorite and they are:

  1.  The two koi fish are creating a circle which represents everlasting life, repetition and infinity.
  2. The orange koi fish represents yin and the black koi fish represents yang. Yin and yang rely on each other to create balance in life.
  3. The koi fish is a potent symbol for embodied consciousness, happiness, beauty and determination.
  4. The Chinese say that when a koi fish swims up to the top of a waterfall in the Yellow River, the Gods transform the koi fish into a golden dragon. The waterfall in the Yellow River is called " Dragon's Gate."
  5. Koi fish also represent longevity because they are said to live from between 20-100 years old or more.
  6. I find inspiration in koi fish because they are smooth and swift swimmers. Smooth and swift are the things I apply in my break dancing. 
  7. My Bboy crew, Cypher Babiez, chose this picture because the two fishes create a cipher. In bboying, the cipher is where the rawness of battling someone occurs. The cipher is the true art of bboying.
  8. They make great pets. Having a pond full of koi fish brings tranquility and good luck.
  9. Koi fish also represents abundance because they swim in large schools.
  10. They look so cool! :)
