The path is a spiral. We go up, but we go in circles.
Each time around the view gets a little wider.
I am reminded of just how much a spiral the authentic journey is when I get stuck in a set of circumstances from which escape seems impossible. When this occurs, I need to ask "What's the lesson here, so that I can move on?"
So I start again. Begin at the beginning. Make Gratitude an active rather than a passive prayer, consciously bring Simplicity and Order to my daily round, honor moments of being rather than doing.
Even if I can't change my outside circumstances, I can change how I react to them.

Thank you so much for the inspiring Buddha saying....I took it as the prologue to my 2022 journal...The cycles of life, the turning of the wheel of time--
change, and acceptance. Life is always a new adventure...
I hope your New Year will be a joyful and healthy one...
hugs, Julierose
What a lovely post, and filled with lessons for me. I wish you a peaceful new year.
The words in the last paragraph are most powerful - and something we should all take to heart.
Happy New Year!
