Making Ends Meet (part 1)

       This phrase has been around for quite a while historically,and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer on exactly where it originates from.But when people talk about trying to make ends meet,they want to make sure they have earned more than they have spent,and paid their dues.This suggests that they have the good sense to live within their means.And it suggests that the circle of trust may or may not be intact with the people they love,and with all those who are helping them succeed on the road of life.
       The phrase speaks of integrity,or the intention of it,anyway.A willow hoop is a great example of this.It starts out as a slender and flexible branch on a willow tree,and is bent to form a circle,to create a dreamcatcher.This creates a circle of trust,and is a fine example of making ends meet.So,too is a wedding or engagement ring.The happy couple hope to always keep the circle of trust strong.The gifts of a watch,bracelet,earrings,necklace may also be seen as sacred circles within the hoop of life.And a drum is a fine example.

       Every time we drink from a cup,we're nourishing ourselves within the circle of life (depending on what and how much we're drinking,of course!)So much in the natural world is round,and of course,our planet.So it stands to reason that it must be natural and easy to make ends meet.
       We all have a tendency to overcomplicate our lives.But if we make our lives simpler, more loving and truthful,then we would strengthen our ability to" make ends meet" more often than not,I believe.
