"We dance round in a ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and knows"

This quote by Robert Frost is a reflection on the human condition. It speaks with the idea that we often go through life without truly comprehending the deeper meaning of our actions. We might think we understand what is going on, but the fact is that we are frequently in the dark. The secret that sits in the middle of the ring is the understanding that we are all connected which our actions have consequences. We may think we are in control, but the truth is that we are all part of a larger system that we can not totally understood. The secret in the middle understands this and it is up to us to try to understand it. By understanding the interconnectedness of life, we can much better appreciate the appeal of the world around us and the value of our actions.
