Circles

Sometimes it can be hard to break out of a pattern, we just go in circles 'round and 'round.

But sometimes, also, there can be something inside that circle that starts to behave differently, just for a moment. And if you listen and pay attention to what it is, it may very well the map to guide you back onto the road.

Like the pattern of listening to others with authority tell you a sick person is ok, when you feel like they are not and usually you would bow to their expertise, but in one moment - the dog goes and sits by their bed and whines. Follow that sign.

Like shopping for christmas gifts even though things are tight because you know there are things that would make "your other happy" and its just what you do, and in the middle of a shopping day - the two of you go for a coffee and a walk and laugh and laugh and the world seems new. Follow that sign, keep on walking because that is where the gift it.
