Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1227 - #FortunesWheel
02 Mar, 2026
FORTUNE'S WHEEL
"How swiftly fate can make or unmake kings."
Nathaniel Lee
"Allow cycles to unfold before the goal can be achieved."
Carol Lee Campbell
"I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way, we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."
Herman Hesse
The wheel of fortune is spinning,
spinning.
So fitting
that's the stone I chose
from the gift of the crones--
smooth, opaque, stones--
themselves another wheel
to spin,
and through the rock
that's the one that called
to me.
I opened the book to read the message
but I couldn't find the page--
every page I turned was "Let go"--
said "Let go"
and I heard, I heard.
And so I carry them together,
the wheel and the letting go:
ride the vicissitudes,
the circles and cycles of choice, chance,
and circumstance,
each in their own time,
all in time;
and
let go
let go
let go all expectation.
Shellen Lubin
