The circle, without beginning or end, symbolizes life energy and reminds us of how to remain centered and still as the world spins around us. Practical and mysterious. There is something in our nature that wishes to avoid chaos and yearns for symmetry and balance. The circle fits the bill and has been seen throughout history and cultures.
It is everywhere in our everyday life and yet sometimes we have to look a little harder to find it {as in the above photo}. Search for the timeless circle; the whole; and that which is without beginning or end in your life and landscape this week.
P.S. Check out last week's great submissions at Flickr.
P.P.S Check out the links to other blogs left in last week's challenge.
I'll be out looking for circles today, but in the meantime my post today serendipitously fits: http://redrecliner.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/tapetastic/

I have to say you have one of the most profound and moving blogs. Everytime I get to catch up and sit down and read your entries I am extremely inspired. Lisa Stone told me to check you out and so I did, I am very happy I did:).
Best of luck with your show, your amazingly talented so I am sure you will do great!
Have a great night,
Jen

It reminds me of that girl scout song about that goes "a circle's round, it never ends; that's how long I want to be your friend" The more and more I go though life the more I realize it really is cyclic.

this one was a bit of a challenge but the right thought always seems to appear:
