The circle fascinates me, both as a symbol of self, wholeness and totality and as a power for the way the world works. Nature moves in circles. The seasons form a great circle and yet always return year after year, season after season. Small droplets form rain; circles that fall from the sky to the earth, only to be recycled through natures processes and again fall as rain from the sky. A never ending cycle, a never ending process. I believe we are like the circle.....never ending. Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux holy man once said: “The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.”
