Life’s Continuous Cycle

Life’s Experiences Create A Circle

The circle of life manifests in the human experience, reflecting the passage of time and the evolution of our journeys.

Frequently, we encounter moments where we revisit chapters of our lives or return to lessons left unlearned, seeking fresh perspectives and insights with each turn of the cycle, or merely aiming to bring closure to that particular chapter.

I believe this happens more and more as we age. There are numerous circles in our lives that warrant revisiting, whether for the nostalgia and happiness they once provided, or to ultimately tie up loose ends so we can let go.

As our Airstream Journey drew to its end, I felt compelled to revisit certain places, seeking closure or a reminder of their significance in my life.

We drove through the small town of Kimball, Nebraska, the place of my birth. Although I didn’t grow up there and had never visited before, I felt compelled to see where my life began. I don’t have much to report, it is still a small town and nothing really sparked an interest for me but I can now say that I’ve satisfied my curiosity and closed that particular chapter of my life.
