the spiral

The spiral is probably the oldest symbol of human spirituality. It has been found scratched into rocks from thousands of years ago, on every continent in the world. The religious significance can only be guessed, but it has been found on tombs, and possibly has a connection with the sun- the sun makes a spiral shape every three months in its travels. A triple spiral motif found on Celtic tombs is drawn unicursally (that is, in one continuous line), suggesting a cycle of rebirth or resurrection. (this hypothesis is bolstered by the fact that many of these appear to be deliberately placed where they catch the first rays of the sun on the solstice).

they say that many of us recreate the same relationships again and again in our lives. and i am really starting to see how this is very true for me. i suppose that it is because i haven't learned yet what i need to learn about myself and about life so i keep recreating the same dramas so that i repeat the opportunity to grow.

i seem to find myself in this place now..

then there is the spiral of giving and receiving.
where does one begin and the other end?

another type of spiral is a helix

of course, i'm not the first to follow this line of thinking spirals
