That's also the image I had in mind: two elements intertwined, engaging
with one another, complementing each other.

When I talked to a journalist a week ago, without ever talking about
yin and yang, though admittedly using my hands to help articulate the 
dynamics, she asked me about yin and yang.

has the article that came out of that.

It also has a graphics that a colleague with much better design skills 
than me created based on a paper and pencil sketch of mine. And that,
too, has a bit of that.

It worked. And it resonates. The only pitful would be labeling one 
explicitly as yin, the other as yang (or anything good-bad or black-
white, which of course the classic symbol is).
