Much Ado About Something

The world rotates on its axis -- busily, dizzily spinning We humans are busily, dizzily spinning on our axes Our planet's motion is purposeful, a wonder of Creation But what of our motion? Where are we -- we wonders -- headed?

Isn't that the new million dollar question? So right.

Yes, hadn't thought of "Where are we headed?" as the $10m question, perhaps because I'm so ensconced in the old Talmudic (Mishnaic) adage: "....Where are you going? --To a place of dust, maggots, and worms..." (Ethics of the Fathers, 3:1). Thank you for the heads-up on this one. Best wishes, Gershon

Life is movement, but purpose is about more than survival - this is intriguing!

"busily, dizzily"--delightful! Great title. And as Kim says, definitely something to think about.
