Someone recently gave me a clock as a present. I installed a battery and put the clock on a shelf in my office. The clock ticks and the second hand makes full circles every 60 seconds. The problem is that the minute and hour hands do not move! It's always the same time.
I am keeping this clock, because it seems to be offering a parody of life. It looks like it's moving right along, but it is just going in circles. It never advances. Sometimes life can be that way: our hearts tick, our legs walk--but we seem to be staying in the same place spiritually. We find ourselves running in circles, without advancing. Life can become a routine, without focus and without goals.
