Never Ending Coil



"Self-understanding is a lifetime endeavor.  It is not a
weekend seminar.  It does not come in capsule form."
Vironika Tugaleva

Music Score or an artistic painting might transport us into a new world of thought.  If we choose to research  the musician or the artist, we may also enhance our perception of ways to live.  Life is filled with tools for us to learn through communicated expression, but primarily the importance is of how we are personally impacted.

My thoughts turn to the old time "Slinky" toy made of a head and a tail with coiled wire in between.  The head, often a dog, would journey forward as the coil of wire would stretch as far as it could before it would recoil back to the front pulling the tail to catch up.  This may sound random, but isn't this how we sometimes progress?

Whether we deliberately endeavor to follow our inner path or wantonly wander side roads, at some point, we manage to pull ourselves together.  Unfortunately, what we digest is usually released and replaced by a new stretch of road.  It would seem the inner path coils and is never ending.
