Skating.
Skating
on the
surface
of a
bottomless
pond.
Infinite
depth.
Spinning.
Spinning
figure eight
contemplation.
Surface,
thick and
hard.
Postulating
subsurface,
minimum
results.
Blades
scratching
the surface.
Reality
complex,
beyond
reason.
Beyond
scope of
understanding.
Spinning
faster.
Skating
to no
avail.
Eons in
attempt,
mere
scratches
on the
surface.
Bottomless
pond of
understanding
forever
out of
mere mortal
reach.

"Figure eight" a beautiful deliberate symbol of infinity looping atop a void. Its spinning, evoking ritual and futility, having us suspended knowing and unknowable, cutting arcs on ice that never cracks, on meaning that never yields. It also exposes the tension between our yearning to understand and the cold reality that some truths remain bottomless, resistant to expression, comprehension or even closure.🕊️🙏🏻
