Shabbat closes the weekly circle, being completing becoming. Then a new curved line swirls outward, moving forward, waiting to meet its sibling at the beginning and at the end, to commence again in an eternally re-forming helix. This is the 7-day ourobouros, the snake swallowing its tail, shabbat swallowing six days of creation. We go forward, only to begin again, before the Source swallows us, and life then continues in a new form. A day, a week, a month, each a re-forming of days, weeks, and months before them. No different from life, Gilgul: we are born, we live, we die, rest a while in shabbat, to move gain as new life forms, beings in the midst of becomings.
