Once there was nothing

Then there was something

Something from nothing

‘Cause everything comes from nothing at all

We’re all going somewhere

Somewhere or nowhere

We just don’t know where

So just enjoy the ride

We think we’re on the way to some special destination

But see it’s all about ‘The Trip’, enjoy a life of liberation

We’re going around in circles

Spinning natural cycles

We’re going around in circles

So flow in nature’s cycles

And just dance, dance, dance

Now it comes, then it goes

But where we come from no one knows

Without attachment it all flows

‘Cause we control nothing at all

Through the darkness comes the light

Then from daytime into night

But from the darkness true insight

The dark’s our shadowed light

After winter comes the spring, and then in summer we begin

The fall of light, through autumn’s glow and back to winter, so we know

We’re going around in circles

Spinning natural cycles

We’re going around in circles

So flow in nature’s cycles

And just dance, dance, dance, dance

We’re going around in circles

Spinning natural cycles

We’re going around in circles

So flow in nature’s cycles

And just dance, dance, dance, dance

We’re going around in circles

Spinning natural cycles

We’re going around in circles

So flow in nature’s cycles

And just dance, dance, dance, dance

The Story of 'Going Around In Circles'

(Produced by Miguel Simoes - based on the Universal Celestial Calendar)

Part of my mission is to rediscover and remind myself and others how our natural universal cycles work, and how syncing with them instead of fighting against them can help us balance our lives

With this always in the back or front of my mind, I was listening to the Alan Watts podcast 'Being In The Way' and found myself laughing, nodding and affirming from my own experience what he was saying about the nature of our existence, drawing on Taoist, Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. And especially the eastern view of the cyclical nature of space & time, which I totally resonate with.

I highly recommend the podcast if you're into pondering existentialism, and to answer the question 'Watts It All About?!' haha

So this song all came out of that experience as I found myself walking around singing "we're going around in circles", which of course we totally are, so "just enjoy the ride"...
