The Earth spins on its axis. It spins as it moves forward in an ellipse. It spins at its core. We are in a perpetual spin. Yet the centrifugal force of the spin does not fling us into oblivion.
Thanks in part to the greater centripetal force of gravity. Like a mother’s arm, gravity pulls us in.
However, some people are hell-bent on escaping the warm embrace of Mother Earth, seeking distant lands for treasure. Ultimately, their travels leave them yearning even more for Mother Earth’s embrace.
Some get lost forever; luckily, most find their way back home.
Whatever you do, don’t stray too far from your center.
