Reflecting every once in a while on the cycles of life can bring new light and understanding about our inner processes and mission. This exercise can also facilitate a focus on our core ideals as guide posts for action.

I invite you to take a moment to consider the cycles in your life. Think about the various stages through the years and see the patterns that have emerged through experience and expanded consciousness. Cycles evolve in a spiral, each cycle being wider in realization and in potential for manifestation.

Dianne Dreher in “The Tao of Inner Peace” suggests the following reflections:

“Which are the short cycles?

Which are the longer ones?

What areas do you need to cultivate more actively?

Where do you need to be more patient and respectful of the process?

Remind yourself of these patterns by contemplating the beauty of natural wood. With its knots, swirls, and tiny lines, each piece is as distinctive as a fingerprint.”
