Blazing Circle

For the past couple of days when I close my eyes to rest or go to sleep, I see a blazing circle, almost like an eclipse, except there is a piece of it missing, and I find myself willing the ends to touch, for it to be whole. That yearning for completeness takes so much concentration that I become aware of the image, wondering what it is and finally what it means. I can even tell you what part of the circle is missing, a piece of the lower right arc. I have no idea how often my brain does things like this, I just know that I became aware of it. Maybe I just have to learn to love the circle as it is, and to tolerate the tension of wanting it to be whole when it can't.
