Circular Momentum
Life has become what I see as a never ending circular flow. By following the traditions of Native American philosophy, I have come to recognize the values of circular momentum. After all, we live on a circular planet, gaze at a circular moon, a circular sun, circular planets in the distance, while our Earth revolves in circular motion. What goes around comes around. If I put love, hard work, concentrated focus, sheer determination, and positive action into my circle, then I continue to feed it. It is then, and only then, that I repeatedly reap the benefits of my circular momentum. These events form my essence, my true inner being and my self-existence. Disturbances, some major and some minor, try their best to enter into my circle, which can interrupt my flow. However, it’s entirely up to me to conquer those disturbances, in order to keep my circular momentum flowing. Sometimes when they continue to pop up on a continuous basis without my creation, I believe that it is my Creator’s way of telling me that something is not right. Therefore I find it necessary to do my best to make a shift. Upon doing these things, in my own unique and imperfect circle, I can find harmony, but not necessarily balance. Life is never truly balanced, as there will always be some things that mandate high priority and put lesser things of importance on the shelf temporarily. However, if I am open and willing to accept these imbalances, it is then that I will find harmony. This is exactly what I need to continue my daily walk as part of a continuous flow in my unique journey through life.

This is a photograph that I took of a Honeysuckle branch in my backyard in Roseville, CA with a Canon 40D.
Life is full of our own beautiful and unique dances and so it is documented here! Enjoy!!

I knew it would happen. Your life has become fractalized. ;o) Gorgeous work.
Polly Peacock replied

I just haven’t had time to play as much as I would like too, so have pretty much put up just pics, but they will be evolving given time! I love surrealistic art, as you well know!!!! Thanks dear Bunny and hope your day was a better one!!! xoxoxo!! :))))
