Relentlessness of the Wheel

The wheel, as John Fogarty once said, "keeps on turning." The wheel is bigger than you. It never stops.

Once you get on it, there's no getting off. If you get off, you will be crushed. It will roll right over you.

So you find you are on it, and you ride it for all you're worth. Which in the world of the wheel is not much.

You can't decide how fast the wheel will turn, you can't decide where the wheel will roll. You can only hang on. Or not.

So you hang on. And marvel at the infinite relentlessness of the wheel.
