Spinning Wheel

The big, round, wheel turns. Its massive size reaches eternity. The scorching sun and the torrential rain stand as immovable witnesses.

High above, through the depths and beyond the clouds, the mechanism inside of it is obscured - hidden from the sight of those below. Only its towering presence is felt.

Beneath it, all things together and apart turn each of the cogs slowly. Every incremental movement leads to a larger motion.

And though only a fraction of it is yet revelead, life requires us to know that the big wheel is turning towards hope and its cycle will end in completion.

Not For The Faint Of Heart

We don't always live up to our own ideals, but we try anyway. 

The long road is littered with madness. We could slip at any moment. But we tell ourselves to still take the next step. We don't cut corners. We don't fool ourselves.

We settle not for what is incomplete. For we know there are some things far greater than our own fears.

We won't always reach the highest heights when we soar. Nor do we always find the safest ground when we land. Still, we soar and try to stick the landing. 

We don't always live up to our own ideals, but we try anyway. This is not for the faint of heart.

It's Artificial, It Ain't Intelligent

No stones will be left unturned.

And only a happy few will be remembered.

The form varies but the elements remain the same. Nothing artificial is intelligent.

For real intelligence lie in being able to handle the truth. The truth is eternal. It may be buried deep, but it can't die.

When the ground once again moves under our feet, and the plates shift beneath, then those who stand uncertain will fall.

Goodness Is A Choice

Good is the ultimate goal. The alternative is despair. 

We make the choice to keep the heart good, but at every turn, the oldest enemies of humanity lay in wait to trip us up.

When we conquer ourselves, we conquer everything. It isn't about the fountain of eternal youth, but rather the wisdom to age with grace.

The telltale signs of good will already show from the start. The difficulty lay in every step to prove it. 

In the end, the ultimate goal will be achieved because despair is no alternative.
