mmn, i was thinking about the repetition and pattern that occurs in life. like the same experience happens or you end up in the same place again, but even though it is a similiar circle the line is redrawn every time. The line is always new in its wonkiness... and yes, my friend naomi made the point that even though circles reoccur the centre is often moving. and so you have random spinning circles in different places rather than just concentric ones going around and around. i really liked that idea. you feel like you are going in a loop but you are looping into a new place... and i really like your idea too about the rings in a tree. i love trees and plants.
This space is for my thoughts and observations on travel and un-travel.

is this about trees, chay-ya? i like seeing evidence in the life-rings that the tree had been pushed and pulled by the earth and wind. x
