Life is a circle.

It’s not a line, a ladder to climb, a trek up the mountain, or a journey from birth to death.

Imagine it’s summer and you’re back from a busy day of shopping. You hop right into the bath, turn on the shower and let the water wash your soul. You stand still as the water drips from head to toe.

6 months later, it’s a fine winter evening, you just got back after having met your friends over a hot coffee and you can-just-not imagine taking a cold water plunge in the very same shower.

A few months later, there shall be the next summer and then the next winter.

We look at nature to build things, don’t we? Fish-like boats, bird-like planes, in an effort to mimic the mechanism to build eco-systems which we’re terribly failing at.

Nature runs around in circles, nature is Life and so Life is a circle?

We’re all circles, we keep growing and shrinking and we’re all entangled. So something happens in a circle, it creates a wave that passes to other circles. The stronger the wave, the more circles are impacted.

Show me a person who hasn’t had setbacks. Show me a person who hasn’t seen the ups in this life. Show me a person who hasn’t seen birth or death.

You’re seeing the circle yet?

So, do we just keep going? Is there no end to this? Now I know for a fact that there is an end, I don’t know what it is, but I feel it exists. I’ll tell you when I learn or you tell me if you know it already.

Where ever you go, you come back to something/someone you call home. The dates, days of the week, months, everything goes around in circles.

You earn, spend, sleep, wakeup, eat, work, sleep again, the day and night, the seasons, trees bearing fruits, shedding leaves, every damn thing is a circle.

You see it now?

What other circles do you see/realize?

And once you see how we’re all entangled, you will hate nobody. You’ll realize how important it is to keep things flowing, to keep sharing the resources, the money, time, knowledge, ideas, air, water, food, and everything else.

Flow is a crucial part of Nature’s design, and building walls does more damage to our circle than anything else.

Everything just gets so simpler when you see how we’re all individual, unique circles yet a part of one BIG circle.

And if you don’t agree to all that, we’re on a planet that’s going around a hot glowing star.

Period.
