E4: Cycles

In this episode, Peter and I talk about duality, the cycling of forms into their reverse state. The poem we read is called: 2. Cycle (ii) Beauty fades and love dies Because all forms are cycles. Chaos evolves pattern, Whole breaks apart, Hope breeds fear, Weakness supports strength, Growth feeds decay, After becomes before. As all forms cycle, agility takes no form But harmony with the ebb and flow of forms. It accepts forms without commanding them, Adapts them without controlling them, Releases them without constraining them. --- The wonderful music recorded by Guitarist Gilad Hekselman, bassist Petros Klampanis, and drummer Ziv Ravitz can be found here.
