Circle or Spiral

I'm reminded of a line from one of Dylan's (Etchingham, but named after both Bob and Thomas) songs, "Life is a circle, nothing more," though sometimes I'm inclined to view life as more of a spiral. The eerie centrality and the multiple and simlutaneous meanings and incarnations of which in the Japanese film, Uzumaki (translated Spiral or Vortex and of course, based on a manga), are places I keep going back to also. Interestingly, I also just discovered that a popular children's character (of manga and anime) from Japan who also has an audience here bears the last name Uzumaki. Coincidence? I think not. Suggestive? Important? I think so.

Like Wayne, I am interested in the labyrinth and its stories and accoutrements. To begin with, I am named after Ariadne (of Theseus, the minotaur, and the labyrinth fame). I was even noticing spiral motifs in Pan's Labyrinth which put me in mind of Uzumaki.

There is something deliciously disconcerting about the spiral, for in a 3-D form, it can traverse the same territory as before but in a different time or at a different speed, or only partially. It evokes movement even more vividly for me than does a circle. And while it can repeat itself, it can also go in unpredictable and uncontrollable directions, much like life. A circle is comforting, while a spiral is frightening, unnerving.

If I were to list my areas of intrigue at this moment which might propel themselves into a paper topic(s), I might come up with something like this:
memories, fictional dreams, spiral/circle/vortex/labyrinth

Ariana, I think Dylan, like many artists, had an artistic insight into life, an insight that makes most of us go, "Oh, yeah, that's what I've been thinking all along!"

And you being named after Ariadne brings us back, which is circular: we are back here again, only with a name and someone searching for something, meaning.

What I have found in researching labyrinthine images in "Four Quartets" is that this is a metaphor for almost everything, and I think you are on to something when you make the connection to spiral. I've often heard that nature does not make a perfect circle, but perfect spirals are common, especially on the microscopic level.

You may not be aware of what banking Internet actually is, and it can be a bit confusing because it has so many names from online banking to PC banking as well as electronic banking and banking online.

This banking Internet option has been very popular not only for customers who want to have some control over their account without having to go to the bank but for banks as well whose man hours have been freed up from performing simple tasks like balance inquiries, account transfers, and the like because the customer does it himself with banking Internet.

Since the whole idea of banking Internet is to make banking as easy as possible, most banking Internet sites will allow you to make a transfer from a brick and mortar bank to the banking Internet site as often as you like with no charge or a small fee.

When you utilize banking Internet options you are able to access your account, move money, pay bills, and any number of things from any computer with Internet access worldwide.
[url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Online Banking[/url]
Times are changing, with the internet redefining the banking sector over the last five years. Do not be confused as it continues to develop, the many names it goes by all mean the same thing electronic, online and PC banking are all just synonyms traditional banking services provided through a secure internet portal.

The banks also benefit from a lesser need for staff due to the migration to internet banking where customers serve themselves.

The purest form on online banking is the virtual bank, where the only place they exist is in cyberspace.
[url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Online Banking[/url]
Paying bills, transferring funds and just plain monitoring your account are all possible with minimal stress whether you are ravelling, holidaying or working anywhere in the world.

Let's start in the past and work forward - seems to be fairly logical. Starting just before the Matt Busby era at United my first selection is Jack Rowley. He joined United before Busby came along. Though not the whole story, naturally a striker is measured to some extent by his goal tally. Rowley managed to net 211 times in 424 games for United before leaving the club in 1955. His tally of 211 makes him one of only 3 players to break the 200 mark. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]arsenal football[/url] Manchester United and Manchester City are only two of the city’s local football teams. Recent estimates indicate that Greater Manchester has the most number of football clubs per capita anywhere in the world. Among the other professional football teams in Greater Manchester are Oldham Athletic, Stockport County, Bury, Wigan Athletic, Rochdale and Bolton Wanderers. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]rooney wayne[/url] The current home games Manchester United shirt is red with a vertical, white stripe on the reverse. A patch with the words "The Red Devils" on a picture of the club's famous devil mascot is sewn onto to the bottom-left of the jersey. By contrast, the away shirt in use today is white with blue piping at the edges. It has red trim on the neck and the club emblem is on a white background on the left breast. The club emblem is pictured on a white background shield situated on the left breast. The emblem has been altered through the years but was originally designed based on the crest of the City of Manchester. One day Matt Busby was watching a local rugby team in Salford and was impressed by their flair and adventure on the pitch. When he discovered their nickname was "The Red Devils" he decided to attach it to his Manchester United team.
