Serpentine

a serpentine course grows naturally out of an open round, for the leader of the line may digress from the steady circling to describe meandering figure 8's, zig zags, spirals, or what have you

(chaos is not disorder but an invitation to the dance of life)

phase known as new skin for old (shed old skin / grow new tale)

the ecdysis process begins from 10 days to 3 weeks before the actual shedding and is indicated by the snake's loss of appetite (a bloated body might inhibit the process), a bluish cloud over the eyes, a few tears (maybe a lot), a dull cast to the skin, a pimple or two, and a marked negative turn in the snake's (subject's) disposition, indicating some discomfort

to each thing there is a season

i am giving up a whole bunch of stuff / turning a corner / and changing my tune

i'll never admit it weren't fun

Remember your insights
Acknowledge your visions

You can't pretend
That you're not where you are
