The more I learn about how nature works the more I am fascinated by how everything moves in a circular or cyclical fashion.  It seems to be a forgiving way of moving through time and space.  As though things build upon each other and there are elements we experience again and again.  Yet these are not circles of hell like Dante wrote about, although when we imagine we are back where we started we default to thinking we must have done something wrong, a.k.a. hell.  It is more likely that we return for some other reasons.  Perhaps we circle back because there is another element of the experience or situation which will attribute to our growth.  Perhaps we circle back so we can bear witness to how much we have grown since we were in this place before. Perhaps we circle around to be the one to guide others who find themselves in that space for the first time.  We could opt to think poorly of ourselves for simple repeating elements of our lives which I have spent plenty of time doing. Strangely it did not move me through the experience any quicker. If I remember to view life as an experience of learning and opportunity to grow in love and become more fully myself I can pay more attention to the energy of my heart in the circle than what it looks like with my eyes.  My heart will always speak to the truth of my being in the circle of my life in the moment I am in.
