Me: Time is circular, huh? What on Earth does that even mean?
God: Twice as nice.
It means a lot of things.
It means that the seasons follow a cyclical pattern. That life goes back into the Earth to be born again. It means that nothing can be created or destroyed. It means that every thing is recycled and reused entirely. Even though sometimes this process can take centuries, decades, or eons. It means that that everything can run through or past you, but can never escape. It means that everything is twice as nice.
Me: What on Earth does that mean? You do realize, that sometimes you leave me with less answers than I come to you with; just so you know.
God: I know. And I enjoy watching the gears in your head twirl. I enjoy it when you realize you are left speechless because it means that you are opening yourself up for new information, new knowledge. Every time you are utterly confused, you sigh, roll your eyes, and say "Okay, I'm ready. Fill me in. I will let go of some of my prejudice." But you also make it perfectly clear that you are stubborn and bull headed, and that even if you understand it this time around, and accept it as truth that you will need me to explain it once again. This is perfectly acceptable because even if you lose it, you work hard to eventually solidify it and hold it as truth.
So, yes, twice as nice means that you are able to part of the circle of life. The circle of time. You feel the excitement and freedom and hope and promise when a loved one is born (You also feel this at the time of your own birth, but few of us remember). And then you get to feel the same excitement, freedom, hope and promise as you pass on to the next life. It is part of the circle; life and "re-life" meet.
It means that when one opportunity "passes you by" because you weren't ready for it-- you know like that great job that you wanted so much, but didn't have the confidence to take or even apply for--it means that it will come back again. And hopefully you are together enough to work hard after the first time you see it to pull it together, so that the next time you are prepared. It means that even though you screwed it up the second time too, that it will come back around a third time, and a forth. Time is circular. You growth is exponential.
It means that love will always come back to you. Did you forget to apologize after that last fight? And now it seems that there is no opportunity to slip it in, to face it, to take responsibility for your actions. Is the air to thick? Is your brother, who you called unworthy of the family name, still too closed to listen to you? Don't run away, as if your time is up. The cycle will come and the door will open again.
Time is circular. That means that there is time for patience, stillness, and prayer. Time is circular, if you feel like it is the wrong time to act, it means that the right time will come.
If you feel like you are stuck in the "winter of your soul" fear not because spring is around the corner.
Time is circular, and that my Dear Ones is my eternal blessing.
Peace, Love, Amen.
