On the theme of spirals and barren/fertile times, here's a passage I read in May Sarton's "Journal of a Solitude" yesterday: "It does not astonish us or make us angry that it takes a whole year to bring into the house three great white peonies and two pale blue iris. It seems altogether right and appropriate that these glories are earned with long patience and faith, and also that it is altogether right and appropriate that they cannot last. Yet in our human relations we are outraged when the supreme moments, the moments of flowering, must be waited for....and then cannot last."
