I'm cleaning up the kitchen so that I can turn around and get it dirty again when I bring in the beets, peas and carrots that need to be processed.  Lately a good deal of my life is spent in circular projects: washing clothes so I can get them dirty in the garden or camping, vacuuming the carpet so the dog can come in with muddy feet and get it dirty again.

I understand about the circle of life and our place in it, but right now I just don't feel like I'm getting ahead.  My circles need to be more linear, if you get my meaning.  And if you do, I'm worried about you too.
