It’s time to leave our linear-based thinking behind and to start thinking in circles again.

We learned more and more about narrower and narrower parts of nature’s circles, and unwittingly came away with an unconscious belief that by understanding parts of lines, we understood the circle. Without knowing it, any of us that went to college, deepened our linear thought process. For example, we might think N-P-K goes in, magic happens, and growing grass comes out. In our pastures, line-based thinking leads us to the overly simplistic understanding of processes. In a linear world, we fail to see the connection between precipitation and evaporation.
In world of lines, something goes in, magic happens, then something comes out. The big idea of the water cycle is that the rain falls somewhere, then evaporates back into the air, before it again comes down as rain somewhere else.īut in spite of some simple training in such circles, most of us unknowingly learned to think in lines. Our kids learn about natural circles in school – for example, the water cycle. The Lion King circle was about the big loop of life and death, and so it is with the circle of life in your pastures. If we start anywhere on a circle, and follow it around, we end up in loop coming back to where we started. In this case – it is about the “circle of life.” Circles have no beginning or end. Lion King, as with all Disney movies, has a great plot and some catchy tunes, but also a deeper moral to the story.
