Whither the Wheels are Going

The world gives itself
up to incessant activity
merely because
it knows nothing better.
The inspired man
Works among
its whirring wheels
also; but he knows
whither the wheels
are going
for he has found
the centre
where all is
stillness...

~Paul Brunton

This has nothing to do with your post... But I did like it. I noticed Damien Rice on your music you've listened to recently list. Very good choic. I'm sure you are ecstatic to know I approve.

To Foolish Knight:
Actually I have no clue. I found the poem in the Celtic Book Of Prayer. Thought it was interesting.
To Katie:
Why, I certainly am ecstatic! Damien rice listeners are cool!
To Sumedh:
Nope. Not at all, though I'm glad to know you enjoyed the poem! Just curious though, what prompted the thought?
