The beginning of a record. Not a true alpha to be sure. A series of failed attempts could lead to cyclical thinking to be sure. I think maybe a remedy to this would be to mark a future event as a goal to reach. This then shifts to the linear for we now have an alpha and an omega.
Now, combine these two underlying structures of thought.
Ouroboros
Western thought is built from womb to grave. Here to there. Now to then. Break this damning line of futility. Embrace the more perfect circle. Something beyond the single line. The scope of the mind shrinks to enable us to dance in step along this outstreached snake who's maw we fear and construct as damning or devine depending on the dance. Miss a day in your journal and you've missed a step.
You have sinned and fallen short of the ideal. Believe you are granted forgiveness and move on. Ever fearful of missing a step towards the ideal. Keep your eyes at your feet, and never mind what may lie ahead if you simply look up and determine your goal. And with eyes held fixed upon that point, walk past the head. Walk to the brighter, wiser, and even more beautiful next.
The aim is found, the circle builds upon itself again and again. Tomorrow and tomorrow, the new days dawn more splendid than the last.
