A Self-Evolving Circle from a Ring Imperceptibly Small, originally uploaded by Scrivenings.

The life of man is a self-evolving circle, which, from a ring imperceptibly small, rushes on all sides outwards to new and larger circles, and that without end. The extent to which this generation of circles, wheel without wheel, will go, depends on the force or truth of the individual soul.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Circles”
