“The ouroboros is paradoxical, after all. It whispers that the process never truly ends. Cycles lead to more cycles, a dance that fuels infinite iterations. Are we cursed to live the same pattern over and over? Perhaps we do when we resist the destructive energy — it is uncomfortable, disruptive, destabilizing. The rhythm of creation is halted when we don’t allow ourselves to circulate through all aspects. What seems key then is leaning into the unraveling parts of the cycle, for it leads to a synthesis.” — Alyssa Polizzi, Ouroboros: The Rhythm of Creation: The Artemisian
