Smoke rises in spirals, curling gently from lanterns and fires, twisting upward, folding past warmth into the open air. Each wisp carries movement and presence, fading yet persisting, tracing invisible patterns that reveal motion, intention, and passage.

I light a small lantern by the riverbank at dusk, watching the smoke spiral into the twilight sky. Each curl twists differently, folding back on itself, merging with the evening air. The motion is quiet yet alive, carrying warmth and intention forward while echoing the flicker of flame that birthed it.

Nature mirrors this spiral. Mist coils in morning valleys, steam curls from hot springs, and the wind carries scents in twisting arcs. Every spiral carries energy and history, bending and looping in ways that are subtle yet profound. Even the smallest movement in the air folds into a larger rhythm, a pattern we can sense if we watch closely.

Life reflects this pattern. Thoughts, ideas, and memories rise, spiral, and return in altered forms. Lessons revisit, emotions loop back, and moments of insight fold into new understanding. Each spiral carries motion forward while honouring what came before, weaving continuity into the flow of living.

I watch the smoke ascend, tracing its invisible curves with my eyes. In its spiralling ascent, I sense connection, reflection, and patience. The spiral of lantern smoke reminds me that motion is rarely straight, understanding rarely linear. Each twist, each fold, each curl carries significance, linking past, present, and future in a quiet, endless dance.

Spiralmore is evolving.
