Number 45: The wheel
From our limited perspective
We cannot know in advance
what is going to work well
We discover that only after years of experience
As we begin to walk the path
We cannot know what is important
That only comes after years of letting things go
In the beginning we look Through a Glass Darkly
After a while what we thought was twisted or confusing or awkward
straightens out becomes clear and sounds eloquent
For a little while
Everything appears to be swirling in transition
Motion becoming motionless and them moving again
Cold warming to hot and then cooling again
The journey moving left then right, then left again
Gain giving way to loss giving way to gain again
Only when we find inner quiet and deep stillness
Can we get off this wheel”
