Have you noticed?
The curve in the straight line gave no warning.
In the deep of the night, it arrived with the sweetness
of a love song:
Stealth-like in intent, melodious in delivery,
the straight line finally rebelled.
Have you noticed?
Like an earthquake of renewal or, perhaps, a geometry of hope,
this Euclidian revolt has shaken the logic of our lives.
Beginning and ending in the infinity of the circle,
the line-turned-curve leads us to the Eden of our beginning.
Have you noticed?
Hush ......
The line can be heard singing in the stillness of the whole.
Why go straight, if we can embrace?
Why wander endless, if we can meet?
Why say it is just so, and nothing else, if it is, in fact, so much more?
The line-turned-circle is you, it is me, it is us.
To be a circle, not a line, is to be life itself.
