What are Full Circle Moments?

Why would they warrant a web site?
I invite you to read on to learn about and participate
in an experience that will enhance your life.

“We shall not cease from exploration
 And the end of all our exploring
 Will be to arrive where we started
 And know the place for the first time.”

— T. S. Eliot
Little Giddings Part 5

I believe we have all experienced Full Circle Moments. They deepen our lives and, once shared, enrich the lives of others. They are at once personal and universal.

Full Circle Moments happen when we revisit a situation or circumstance in our present life that occurred in our past. The event of the second experience creates a circle in which we view both perspectives — past and present — simultaneously. Viewing the “there and then” and the “here and now,” seeing their relationship and connection completes the circle and creates a richer, fuller life experience.

The process of selling the house I grew up in and of helping my mother downsize to an apartment after the death of my father, stirred up memories and emotion. One of the most remarkable memories was what I call a Full Circle Moment. (Go to WRITINGS to read “A Full Circle Moment”)

After that vivid experience, I began to recall other Full Circle Moments in my past. I began to write these memories in the form of stories. This enabled me to process their meaning. My life began to take on a more integrated reality after getting in touch with these moments.

I have begun this web site to invite you to look at your lives to discover and share your own Full Circle Moments. Your stories will remain safe and confidential. However, please indicate if you would like your story considered for possible publication in a book of full circle moments.
