Everything in the Universe is constantly moving, and much of the time the movement is circular in nature. In fact, even time is circular, not linear. But we as humans are conditioned to look at things in a linear fashion, past-present-future and in numerical order. Cause and Effect is circular. Scientists have always known that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, but the rest of us think that only applies to science, certainly not to everyday life! WRONG! So we move through our lives doing the things we do and saying the things we say never realizing that as soon as the action has begun, the circle has as well. Sometimes it takes months or years for it to complete the cycle and return back to us. Sometimes it takes several lifetimes!

Recently I had the occasion to experience the power of the circle. I was complaining to one of my friends about something that was happening in my life when I became aware of the words coming out of my own mouth. They were exactly the same words that were said to me seven years before by someone else, words that cut me to the core. I stopped myself mid-sentence, realizing what was happening. No longer do I want to be a part of unconscious actions or words that will hurt another. I am tired of the karmic cycle and I consciously choose to step out of it. This means that I have to be accountable for everything I do and everything I say. A daunting task but I am up to it!
