— the world
It doesn’t matter where we begin since everything circles back. You may be beginning a great adventure, or you may be ending one in shame. In the center, you orbit always the one constant desire of your life. Is that completeness, enlightenment, union with the divine and all its power? At the corners lurk Ezekiel’s four living creatures, or are they animals, or the four Evangelists? The mystery and the magic make up for the terrible and inertial beauty of the whole.
