“All that I wanted were things I had before.
All that I needed I never needed more.
All of my questions are answers to my sins.
All of my endings are waiting to begin.”
From Circle by Slipknot
February 20th, 2010
I’m having trouble coming up with something to write about today. I think the best cure for writer’s block is to write about having writer’s block. Not that this journal thing is something that needs to be done everyday by any means. I’m just bored out here on the tower—again—and can’t think of anything to write about that doesn’t have to do with the book.
The last time I checked before my 40 Days of Grady, I had two followers on my blog. Assuming I’ll accumulate more as time goes by, someone is going to wonder what I mean by ‘Circular Path.’ There are a few meanings hidden in there. A circle is a single, unbroken line—never-ending. You take one section out and it’s no longer a circle—everything it had encompassed falls apart. My life is a circle. I grew up in a broken home. My sons are growing up in a broken home. I was on a Christian path in high school. Then, I strayed for several years. Now, I’m back on my Christian journey. If you remove any single element of my life, all that I am ceases to exist. Another definition of my ‘circular path’ comes from the song “Circle” by Slipknot, which I quote at the top of my blog. Some might think it strange that I, being a spiritual, Christian person would quote Slipknot, but give the song a listen if you have the opportunity. It’s one of their softer, slower songs, so you can actually understand what Corey is saying when he sings.
The third definition is represented in the book and I’m not talking about that right now, so, I’m going to let you find that one on your own.
