Great Article! Interesting you included the musician's remark regarding his 80th birthday that "birthdays scare me." Turns out my 80th b-day is tomorrow (Jan 7). I'd like to add my own remark: "There's something more 'Traumatic' when the 1st digit changes, especially into an 8.". As you say: "...circling is the only way to fly...".
Can definitely empathize with the weariness that comes with moving really fast only to end up in the same place. The perspective that some movements are so monumental but slow as to be imperceptible is helpful.
For me, it also helps to remember that our society over-emphasizes (and disproportionately rewards) progress and movement (bigger! faster! stronger! cheaper! richer!) and often devalues maintenance, care, nurturing, and sustaining. Yet they still matter, they still have meaning. It may be a meaning that is rarely externally validated, but it's still there.
While reading I was reminded of a song I use to love by Joni Mitchell, The Circle Game. (Haha, I may be dating myself!) Anyway, i enjoyed you're article. Thank you for sharing. ✨️💚✨️
