#27 Spinning Wheel (Blood, Sweat & Tears) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
What goes up must come down
Spinning Wheel got to go ’round
Talkin’ ’bout your troubles
It’s a cryin’ sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the Spinning Wheel spin
You got no money, you got no home
Spinning Wheel all alone
Talkin’ ’bout your troubles and you
You never learn
Ride a painted pony
Let the Spinning Wheel turn
Did you find your directing sign
On the straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign?
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning Wheel spinning true
Drop all you troubles by the river side

Restoring a Sense of Harmony to Your Habitat

“I am told that when the Chinese, who know everything, build a house, they consult the precepts of an ancient science, Fen Shui, which tells them exactly how, when, and where the work must be done, and so brings good fortune to the home forever.”

Jan Morris (Historian; October 2nd, 1926 to November 20th, 2020)

“…all of us can make simple and affordable changes in our homes and workplaces that will spark our natural potential to be as alive, receptive and as focused as possible. In these rapidly changing times, simple feng shui adjustments can help bring clarity, peace, joy and prosperity.”

Katherine Metz (Contemporary Feng Shui Practitioner)

“…how to transcend the mundane through the mystical include hanging a brass wind chime inside your front door for clarity; having books in plain view as you enter your home to increase insight; hanging a round mirror in your bedroom to bring more love, compassion, and understanding to an intimate relationship; placing flowers in your bedroom, kitchen, and study to cultivate good luck; and hanging a mirror on the wall adjacent to or behind your stove to reflect the burners, which are symbols of wealth and prosperity.”

“If you are stuck in a rut or an unpleasant situation Metz advises moving ‘twenty-seven objects in your home that have not been moved in the last year.'”

“I never really considered Feng Shui, and I know some friends who swear by it.”
