I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.  I may not complete this last one but I will give myself to it.  I circle around God, around the primordial tower.  I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?

— Rainer Maria Rilke, “Widening Circles”
