We Are All Part of a Circle
“Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein
We are a circle, a circle of grievers, a circle of support, a circle of love.
More than ever before in the history of humankind, we feel the circle of our connections around the planet as we face a threat on a global scale.
The circle of life. Ripples moving out from a stone dropped in water. The sun, the moon, our Solar System.
Minutes, hours, days. Weeks, months. Seasons, years.
Anniversaries. Birthdays. Death days.
Running in circles, spinning in circles.
Being held in the circle of your family or community…
Where would we be without the circle, this most simple, universal, and most profound of all symbols?
