It's not a holy shape for nothin'. And I don't mean make a pun on, wholly, either, but it takes that full revolution for all things to happen in their time. Shown so extensively on the climate of the days we experience now. However, I suppose we are on a bigger wheel than we can ever know sometimes. Just because we are our own proverbial comet, doesn't make it more absurd, to me, what is happening with many aspects of perceived solid structures. This doesn't make me apathetic and not compassionate, it just helps me frame it.
