THE CIRCLE

One night I had a dream. I was walking in the street like a kid who has the hands of a father and mother, someone bigger guiding you. And I was asking this big person, what is the meaning of life? He showed me circles, circles of life, and then he showed me a flower.

​

Why?

A plant has a circle. A seed becomes a plant that has a flower, and transforms into a fruit. The fruit drops. There’s another seed, and the seed grows again - this is a circle.

I said, "I see and understand but why do you show me the flower?".

And he said "The flower is the moment that we live. The most beautiful moment of the circle. The most beautiful moment.

Contemplate this.”
