SEVERAL CIRCLES - Kandinsky

Several Circles ~ 1926

Kandinsky believed that the circle has symbolic significance relating to the mysteries of the universe.  The circle is considered the symbol of infinity, without beginning or end, perfect, the ultimate geometric symbol.  Because of its lack of sharp edges, the circle associates with Divine perfection and balance.  In some spiritual traditions, the circle is seen as a representation of the state of enlightenment.  The circle's rounded, enclosed shape evokes a sense of security and protection, of warmth and welcome.

The circle of life is a symbolic representation of birth, survival and death.  The idea of life as a circle or a wheel exists across multiple religions and philosophies.  "Life is represented as a circle because it is a constant loop."  At every moment, people are born and people are dying.   

 

Circle of Life

From the day we arrive on the planet

And, blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done.

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all.

Personally, I think this photograph captures the essence of the Circle of Life.......
