circles and spirals

life, as i know it, becomes a series of circles and spirals when seen from a distance... but when immersed in the moments, the circles and spirals appear much more like a maze of intersecting people and paths and experiences... it is so easy to exaggerate the detail, importance of each moment when caught up within the moment, and yet, it is within the moment that the truest more intense life experience can be felt if we are not afraid to dive in without inhibition or restraint... still, it is wise to step back and observe the circles and spirals, the repeating patterns of experience, reactions, and behaviors, in order to learn perspective and understand what matters in life...

here in this blogging life, each entry is a moment expressed in some way, words or images or music or a combination of stimuli that can be placed in a blog entry box... any individual entry may be an extreme of emotional certainty or passion, positive or negative feeling intensified by momentary reactions released without inhibition or restraint, or, at times, without consideration for how the contents of the blog entry might effect/affect the people and paths intersecting in the life outside of the blog entry at the moment frozen in time by the blog entry...

the value of stepping back and looking at the blog as a whole is akin to pausing to reflect on the big picture of a life's experience, allowing for the extremes of emotion to find balance and provide a broader, deeper, richer experience of the life lived that gives birth to the blog...

sometimes, when the blog is silent, this sort of stepping back and pausing to reflect is what is happening...

on the other hand, sometimes i am just busy with life... and sometimes i am just shut down...

which is which, only time might tell...
