Midwest Revolution
In a previous post I quoted an author who thought that there are quintessentially Midwestern tropes of “growth, decay and rebirth through cyclical nature.”  Midwesterners, more than other United States citizens, live in cyclical, not linear time.  This is mostly due to our unrelenting seasons.  
Cyclical living might seem redundant, but it actually leaves more opportunity for revolution.  The very word revolution alludes to the necessity of repetition to lay the ground work for true change.  Revolution quite literally means to both repeat (the a wheel’s revolutions per minute) and change (the French Revolution).  In the midwest, we are getting close to another revolution.  Fall.
