CIRCLES

A circle is a simple closed curve that divides the plane into two regions: an interior and an exterior.
The circle is always moving, round and round, yet at the same time totally still
The circle spiraling inward is the world
The circle spiraling outward becomes the universe
Think: the 'Circle of Life’— its never ending-ness, its forever on-goingness.
The circle has its wholeness, it’ always-ness, it goes on and on
How it holds infinity
Think the Sun
Think the Moon
Think the iris of the eye
