Essays: First Series. Circles
Nothing stands still. The moment we grasp an idea, it expands beyond us. The instant we define a boundary, a wider one emerges. Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Circles is not about shapes on a page but about the shifting nature of thought, existence, and perception. Each insight is a stepping stone, each conclusion just another starting point. There is no final answer-only an ever-widening ring of understanding.
Emerson writes with the quiet confidence of someone who has seen the world rearrange itself countless times. He does not dictate; he invites. He does not confine; he liberates. Circles is both a challenge and a comfort: the challenge to let go of fixed truths, the comfort that every ending is merely a new circumference waiting to be drawn. This essay, part of his Essays: First Series, distills the restless energy of transcendentalism into a meditation on the inevitable movement of life.
To read Circles is to be reminded that no thought, no identity, no moment is static. And that is not a reason for despair, but for wonder.
