Spokes

Spokes

One of my favorite things to do use to be
to build a fire and watch the stars. 
I did this as often as I could and each time
I was amazed by the magnitude of the Universe, 
humbled by my insignificance, 
but one warm Spring night I realized 
the Universe would not be the same 
without me, without any of us. We are each
vital to this dynamic force called life, 
spokes in an ever-turning wheel,
connected at the center of the Universe.

We are all connected Susan, like the spokes of a wheel. What a beautiful thought it is, that we were gifted a chain event in our lives. Thankyou for sharing.
