The Ox, The Cart and The Wheel

The ox moves forward.

It pulls the cart attached to it.

The wheel turns.

The wheel follows the ox.

This is a parable for the way your life unfolds.

The ox is the power source. That is your mind. The cart is the physical manifestation of converting power to motion. That is your body.

The wheel represents the events and outcomes of your life. You can see it all starts with the mind. If you have half-baked mush in your mind, that is the way that your life will turn out. It is never too late to steer the ox. It is never too late to change the way you think. That is perhaps the most power that you will ever possess over your life.
