Full Circle Again

“Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel 

Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel”

 Some say that life is a plan initiated and executed by a higher intelligence, an ultimate variable. Some say that it is the luck of the draw

 I say life is ours for the making if we just use the tools we were given when we were created

 Life, much like any other endeavor, must be cultivated and nurtured until it strong enough to resist the most persistent and vicious attacks on our souls

 Life however, unlike any other force, is created by an irresistible force that can in fact move immoveable objects. The strength of the Universal Continuum has no boundaries

  It is a circle within a circle, the Yin & Yang - Infinity if you will …

INTRODUCTION

 It occurred to me the other day that this year has been one of closure on so many fronts in preparation for the new reality of the post pandemic world.

 When I wrote my third book, I named it “My Fifth Reincarnation”, reincarnation in this sense meaning to readjust or reinvent if you will. Shortly thereafter I realized that there would be a sixth & probably a seventh at least. It is my opinion that all of us adjust our outlook on life as we grow and hopefully mature.

 With every new incarnation there comes much baggage and debris that are the remains of previous lives and adventures. Our goal should not be to throw those experiences away, but rather to use them to make our new life a better and more perfect one.

 I like to think of life as a Mosaic, each piece fitting into the others much like a picture puzzle, every piece unique. Every piece customized to our very special needs and desires.

 As the decades roll by, they seem to pick up speed and, in the end, become our essence, our reality realized through involvement with the people and things around us. We can use the knowledge that we accrue to make us one with the universe or we can ignore it and continue on a path of ignorance and self-deception.

Being a single gay man I have had perhaps a few more hurdles to jump through than most, but it has also been my good fortune to have so many mentors over the years, both straight and gay, people who have instilled in me the wisdom to follow my feelings in life and love, and the knowledge of how to live it. If I were to name them all I know that I would be missing as many so I won't, but suffice to say that each and every one of them contributed to making me be the person that I am today.

 

 So then, here is to our friends and relations. The people that give us life and the strength to live it. Here is to all our special others that nurture us and make us whole, and here is to all the love that is derived from that compilation which makes us better people.
