Buffy St.Marie had it right......we go round and round and round in the "circle game". This has been more like a roller coaster than a carousel, but it is still a circle. This spiritual emptiness is like a really dark night that never seems to end. Just when I think dawn must be breaking, I look at the luminous face of my watch and it is still three a.m. I am lost in the wilderness. I have been so angry at God, so angry with myself. Okay, God, I confess! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
The Rubiyat says:
"The Moving Finger writes and having writ moves on, nor all your piety nor wit can lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it."
I cannot change the past, but perhaps I can raise the ransom for the future.
NO! that is wrong it is the incredible talent of Joni Mitchell who gave this undeserving world, "Circle Game"
