Spirals
<< What is the spiral path, and why is it a spiral?
There are many ways that I look at this to understand it. If you look at a path then normally you go from point A to point B, but in our lives it is not necessarily the destination that we are trying to get to, but it is about the journey itself. When you approach something in a spiral you get to view all sides of it before you get there. Also, approaching something in a spiral is the same approach you would take to approach an altar or something sacred. It allows you to see beyond, to create, to be. When you are on a spiral path, you can be expanding out, or you can be focusing in.
<< What does this have to do with Toteg Tribe?
There are several ways that this fits into the Toteg Tribe. It is in our make up, all of our past influences connect together to get closer and closer a description of who we are. We are on a journey or path that we should look and feel and experience that is every bit as important or more important than our destination. We approach our sacred spaces like the spiral with our vision both inside and out, feeling and knowing, allowing balance and clarity to form.
Take a look at the cycles of life, the seasons, the years, and they constitute a spiral. On the calendar a year passes, on the watch a day passes. Each time they cycle around they are the same in position, but yet we are not the same. We have come full circle yet we can never be where we were, we have changed. Our life spirals out or in depending on how you look at it. Our planet goes around the sun, but even the planet is not the same when it returns to its position. In life we go through different patterns, they are similar, they seem to come full circle, yet they are different and not quite the same position.
Spiral together one and all,
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall,
We cycle around, but are not the same,
We can never return to where we began.
Each year older, each minute more,
A pattern emerging like never before.
It is the journey that exites me.
From where I stand,
I can taste the flow across the land.
