We know about lines of reasoning and logic, but discount the circle of intuition. We know about deadlines, timelines, and lines of history but discount the cosmic cycle of return. We know about getting in line and conforming to the will of society but have discounted knowledge related to the cyclic seasons of the human life revealed in traditional mythology and ritual. We have lines of concrete and pavement, and our homes are square boxes, but we have lost touch with nature and our own biorhythms. Now lines have their place, but life is a circle and the way of life is circulation.
Healthy bodies result from the unimpeded circulation of energy, blood and oxygen.
Peace of mind results from proper mental circulation, which is to say, from being in the moment neither holding onto the past nor grasping for the future, but letting experience move through us. Creative expression results from circulating our natural gifts. The Taoist says life is bliss. The Buddhist says life is suffering. Both are right it s just a matter of where we are starting from.
