When all the circles of my life began to converge, connect and overlap, I realized I myself had gone full circle from seed to plant and back to seed again.

The tiny seeds of knowledge that were planted in my young fertile mind forty years ago went through many seasons of change before converging into a bed of knowledge tested by time and experience.

Now the seeds have grown in each of my offspring and their children. I find that my knowledge is no longer sufficient to solve the problems facing my world.

The world has changed. I have changed. But not enough. I always felt capable and competent and somewhat confident that I knew where I was going and where I would land.

I can no longer say that. Is this the beginning of something new or the end of all that I built my trust on?
