Ouroboros is a gnostic and alchemical symbol that expresses the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation. Creating lasting bonds, friendships, brotherhoods and sisterhoods, are one of the healthiest pieces of our nature as humans. Meditate on this when minutiae has taken over your life, and you need to zoom out to the great universal picture.
