Sorry to be so long posting carriephonic.
I am not a real 'critic',
but in my view, you took your subject seriouslyand framed your thoughts in prose that reads well.
(I am not sure I AGREE with your philosophy about cycles,
-
but in the sense you are comparing a "rut" to an "adventurous existance", I agree).
Insofar as your style, you are fine, and sticking to your thought is very good too. Let us see some more.
In this forum, I have found you have to give 'poets' time for things to sink in...
- then they will reply.
