There Are No Circles

There are no circles 
in life...yet, history 
does seem to repeat itself, 
entering in and out the
same doors of experience—
though each house swept clean 
they are never
fully sanitized.

We are lineal
(my apologies to Einstein)--
past can be viewed, analyzed 
but when observed becomes
a new reality: for nothing is 
what we see, and more 
the example 
of who we are….

Hello Joe … yes it does take a few generations for change to occur, but still the same lessons we tend to not take heed of - thank you Joe - Lindsay
