Tree rings, like galaxies, grow out in expansive circles, not straight lines.
Your life is not lived, or determined, by one single event or action.
Somehow Nature, and Time, will always find a way to bring things back around to new beginnings.
~ Laurie Beth

We have kids and grandkids. We know longer see ourselves as in the center of the family circle, with all the focus and power in us. We now see ourselves on the outer circle of the family looking outward into the expanding frontier.
