The circle of life

While numbing my mind in the maze of the web, i came across this quote by an indian elder: "Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle.  The sky is round, and I have heard the earth is round like a ball and also are all the stars.  The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.  A bird nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.  The sun comes forth and goes down again in a full circle.  The moon does the same and both are round.  Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were.  The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves."

-Black Elk, the Dakota elder

It's right where my thoughts are at the moment - the circle of life, mandala making, waiting for the moon to come up, waiting for the sun to come up.  time passes and wounds heal and the world continues on with its circular pattern.
