Daily Draw, The Wheel of Fortune.
Ups and downs, light and shade. All part of the tapestry of life. The wheel of life turns slowly at times. Sometimes it needs to turn more quickly. If you've ever tried to slowly fill a bobbin on a sewing machine you will know the need to regulate the speed. Too slow and the result is a knotty, loopy mess, too fast and the bobbin spins out of control altogether.
This wheel is not simply turning but being spun. The Crone's kindly face suggests the change is for the best. As she spins she places her right hand on the wheel perhaps to steady it. Or maybe this is a clue for the woman trying to ride the wheel? The closer we are to the centre the smoother the ride.
I love the last sentence! there is a lot of truth in that. It reminds me of seeking inner peace instead of feeling dependant on outer circumstances
ReplyDeleteOoh good interpretation, thank you! You're right if we wait for outer circumstances to be perfect we will never find true peace.
DeleteI think the more we can learn about our trips around the sun, the closer we move to that center (and equanimity). My harrowing rides are often because I keep doing the same thing expecting different results!
ReplyDeleteThat's another good interpretation of the wheel. Learning from both our smooth and bumpy rides so we don't end up going round in circles.
