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!
