I heard this piece of wisdom a long time ago from an eccentric old grandmother, advising her grand daughter who had just completed her high school education and was preparing to head off to collage. It stuck with me through the years and I use it not only while driving, but whenever life throws a curve my way.

“There are many spokes on the wheel of life. First, we’re here to explore new possibilities.”
Today concludes the theme of wheels. There have been so many awarenesses this week related to the wheel and its metaphor for life. The one that I find most profound is that we all come full circle and in that, find that there truly is no beginning or end to our essence.

“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”
We all have to do it...pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off when life delivers a crushing blow. With compassion.
