“We are not going in circles.  We are going upwards. The path is a spiral: we have already climbed many steps.”  – Hermann Hesse from “Siddhartha.”    

The photo credit for the spiral glass sculpture is “Chihuly’s” artwork on display in the lobby of The Embassy Suites in Charlotte, NC.

 The spiral represents an orderly sequence of growth proceeding out of what has come before through expansion and expression. 

“In a spiral, there’s an ever upward pull of becomingness.  A little blade of grass feels it as it presses through cement to become more of itself.”                             – Mary Morrissey
