The wheel that keeps life spinning, our only constant, never ceasing.
continually peeling and shedding, revealing layers and layers, like an onion – is the final layer and goal at our core?

We have to never be satisfied with there we stand there is always place to grow there’s always a new layer to discover. Because essentially if we are stagnant we are bound to fall so we must always go up and strive for better
