Asparagus growth cycles

I read somewhere that asparagus can grow bent or curved if it is overwhelmed by weeds or doesn’t have enough space.

For the last year, I have been feeling like this asparagus.

Going in circles.

Twisting back in on myself.

Growing a bit only to wind up back where I was before.

Sometimes personal growth and learning can feel expansive and sometimes it feels like your breakthroughs are things you already knew many years earlier.

I suppose I am slowly accepting that growth can be cyclical, spiral and meandering.

We might return to things we learned before only to use that knowledge in a new way.
