I believe life is cyclical. I’m not saying I believe in reincarnation or anything. I will take this opportunity to quote my favorite Ray Wylie Hubbard line though, “It’s not any stranger to be born twice than it is to be born once.”
What I’m talking about is more like the seasons of the year. During the Winter things hibernate. Spring is the season of birth and growth. Summer is the time for exploration and movement. As Fall progresses things return to stillness. I think some, if not all, humans are tied to this cycle. Some are even deeply affected on a daily basis by a cycle. Some people are very productive in the morning and useless as evening approaches. I probably haven’t done a good job of getting what I’m saying across, but if the thought interests you I’d recommend listening to this little sermon/ lecture.

All this is too explain my large periods of dead air on the blog. My life is very cyclical. I’ll get a burst of energy and move in every direction and do a thousand things. Then there will be nothing. So far in my life there has been far more nothing than productivity. When the pulse comes it is briefly sustained at best. As I study myself I hope to recognize these periods of time and draw on them more effectively.
Am I in one of those periods of time now? I don’t know. I wrote the first part of this a week ago and I can feel the energy waning already. So there may not be a glut of blogs coming, but maybe there will be. Stay tuned to find out…
