| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 07/21/06 at 03:08 AM Hi Chris. Fun and ponderous! If Escher could have built a roller-coaster, I imagine it might be something like the mobius-strip. Bravo! |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 07/21/06 at 03:49 AM Terrific concept and poem! Thank you! As I googled this idea, there was a picture of Ants on a Mobius Strip, by Escher. Gregory got this one right!! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 07/22/06 at 12:08 PM your words Chris are always lucid and earnest and emotionally worthwhile and this poem is no exception. |
| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 07/22/06 at 01:52 PM interesting to think of a strip becoming a circle, the circle of life? Fascinating poem, I remember well, and I like the image accompanying it. Yes it's inevitable eternal path. Fine work. |
| Posted by Heide McAlister-Bates on 07/22/06 at 04:40 PM Excellent write, Chris. Love the analogy. |
| Posted by Vere Mantratriad on 07/23/06 at 01:40 AM Great, interesting write! |
| Posted by JD Clay on 07/23/06 at 03:07 AM This reminds me of the Egyptian alchemists wheel, later given the name Ouroboros by the Greeks. Your depiction and poem are a great illustration of lifes cycle and just how connected we really are, Chris. |

| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 07/24/06 at 06:17 PM Excellent - good graphic too - these used to fascinate me as a kid - they still do. Did you ever cut through one lengthwise? You get two strips, linked as a chain - also see my Mobius metaphor in my poem, "Eternity" (in my Archives, I think).... d:-) |
