Watermark: 30DayPhoto

I have company. I'm glad I have company. I'm having a great time.

I'm exhausted -- so posting may continue to be a bit sparse for awhile.

I'm planning to write a post about this -- later. But I wanted to post a photo of the day, and this is my favorite, so here it is, without its narrative.

I see the spiral metaphor everywhere; the idea that we revisit the same issues again and again in our lives, but at different -- presumably deeper -- levels. A Flickr search found many spiral images -- this one at the left was my favorite -- I think because of that lovely blue marble, and the garden behind. And because the photographer allows use under a Creative Commons License.

Recently, on one of the Blogging the Artist's Way blogs (I'm sorry, but I can't remember who this was -- if you see this, let me know so I can link to you) the writer was discouraged to see, when she read a year-old journal, that she was dealing with exactly the same issues a year later.

I laughed, because I've had not only that experience, but the experience of having some wonderful, revelatory insight -- one of those Wow! moments -- only to find, soon after, the exact same insight written in a journal from years earlier. Written down with excitement, and apparently immediately forgotten.

My path is less a spiral than a tangle:

A very nice slinky gave its life for this lesson. Let us pause to mourn and honor said slinky. OK, that's enough.

On this path, there is no nice, smooth curving around and around, to the deeper, magic center. It's more like going in circles and retracing my own route; sometimes stepping directly from one level to another; sometimes stepping way back to a place I passed long ago. Sometimes it seems I step into another dimension altogether; a multi-dimensional tangle.

That's my life.

Yours?
