• I was armed to the teeth with a pitiful little Smith & Wesson's seven-shooter, which carried a ball like a homopathic pill, and it took the whole seven to make a dose for an adult.

• I am the dust in the sunlight,
  I am the ball of the sun . . .
  I am the mist of morning,
  the breath of evening . . . .
  I am the spark in the stone,
  the gleam of gold in the metal . . . .
  The rose and the nightingale
  drunk with its fragrance.
  I am the chain of being,
  the circle of the spheres,
  The scale of creation,
  the rise and the fall.
  I am what is and is not . . .
  I am the soul in all.

  Rumi

• Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power whirls.

Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were.
