Circles

Have you ever found yourself walking in circles?

Perhaps you have been lost in the woods, or maybe just forgotten where you had parked your car at the Mall... You think you know right where to go, but upon getting there... you find you were wrong and head off in a new direction... Only to wind up right where you began... and regardless of the duration, you end up walking in circles coming back to the same starting point many times over.

Well... guess what? I'm back.

My circles have taken me in several different directions. Some interesting, others not so much, but all no doubt hold a nugget of wisdom and knowledge that will be made evident in the days, months, or years to come...

For all things have a purpose and a meaning...

For years I have had a passion for putting down on paper what wanders into my mind. There was a time that what appeared seemed trivial and unimportant. What I had not realized at that time, was there are no coincidences and all things have a meaning and a purpose... even if it wasn't meant for ourselves...

So as I look a the date of my last post, I see that it has been over three years since I have returned to this place at the fire...

The further I strayed, the less the flame of my passion burned. The fire in my belly grew cold and distant, and the glow grew dim... I did not know why I felt the way I did... All that I did know, was that something felt like it was missing.

After reading these forgotten posts, I now see what I had been longing for.
