Circles
Circles
...concentric, overlapping...
These days I keep sayin'
there's nothing I must do.
And this of course is true.
Of all those things I believed
were required of me:
the learning,
the earning,
the spending,
the defending,
the climbing,
and the denying,
none of them were needed
or even necessary.
As I learn my true place
and take my seat within
the unbroken circle of life,
I find a new list of things
that are mine to do:
letting go and loving,
steadily descending and bending
toward the humble ground,
singing, dancing, and celebrating
the beauty and the belonging
of everyone and everything.
I don't believe that life is linear.
I think of it as circles -
concentric circles that connect.
