Life as a moving spiral We speak in terms of coming full circle in life. Rich man becomes poor. Poor man becomes rich. The defeated becomes the victor. The victor becomes the defeated. Life truly does come full circle on many occasion. Yet it isn't the idea of a circle that keeps us dazed. It is the image of a swirling spiral staring back at our face. The spiral keeps on swirling. All the while, leaving us staring at it, over and over and over again. Life truly does come fully circle, only when you are looking at it to make the circle clearly evident. For in truth life is ultimately a spiral. Geometrically the statement makes perfect sense. When you are looking at a spring vertically, all you can see are the circular rings. Yet when you look at it horizontally, you begin to see the spring for what it is. a spiral that ends when it hits the ground. Look at your own circular life. You made shit. You got shit. Shit got broken. Suddenly shit starts becoming something else. Finally you end up making some shit. Life can make you look at it as if it is a circle. Yet the truth is that it is a spiral. Though the circumstances in life appear to be circular, you have become a different person through that experience. The experience has matured you as a person. You have learned lessons through it. Sometimes it may be painful. Sometimes it may be beautiful. No matter what be the nature of experience, the spiral nature of life becomes evident. So guess what, when you find yourself back at an all familiar place in life. It's not going to be the same thing happening all over again. You really have that unshakeable feeling that you have two choices to go from here. To move forward in life, or to move bass-ackwards. Many a time, we choose to move forward, as it seems logical. Sometimes when we find ourselves moving bass-ackwards, especially out of habit, moving forward in life can appear to be a radical choice. Sometimes we all need a fucking wake up call to actually wake the fuck up. The spiral of life. Staring back at us. Dazing us by its mysteries.
