PLANT N SEED

24″ x 36″ Mixed Media on Foam Board

The chicken or the egg?  The Plant or the seed?  In Buddhism, Hinduism, as well as other Dharmic religions, there is the belief of the wheel of time which regards time as cyclical and with repeating ages.  Their idea of time gives a different answer to the question of “who is first.”  The concept of eternal return, which indicates that there is repetition of time. The assumption is that time is eternally repetitive, and therefore, there is no “first” in eternity; there is no creation. The answer then becomes: neither the egg/seed nor the chicken/plant is first. There is no “first” in a cyclical view of time.  Chicken or the Egg
