Birth. Life. Death. Birth. Life. Death.
And on and on the circle spins.
The journey of life is not linear. It’s not a circle. It’s a spiral - swirling us along in the ebs and flows of life. When we return to a place in this swirling spiral that feels all too familiar, it can feel like we’ve never left. Like we are once again stuck.
Perhaps it’s a return to a predictable internal pattern of feeling or thinking we’re trying to change. Or maybe it’s a specific relational imprint we are needing to work through yet again. Some might say that it even feels like defeat or regression.
However, that is not the case. Our return to these “same” places always come with perspective renewed, with hearts changed, and with bodies grown - whether or not we want it, feel it, or perceive it. Change is always happening. It is one of the most constant and reliable forces in life.
Sometimes, we just need to build our awareness to orient and feel into these changes, however small or subtle. And after that, cultivate the energy and capacity needed to amplify and direct it further into the direction we want.
So the next time we visit that familiar point in this spiral, we can greet it as a touchstone, a checkpoint for us to reflect on our own evolution in this dance with life and make sure we’re still on track. Still in integrity with ourselves in the most life-giving way.
