The subtle ticking of seconds gone by filled the quiet
stillness of anticipation. All breathing was paused until that feeble arm of
father time reached that still infernal spot which would perhaps, as it has so
often in the past, signal the start of a new day. Or perhaps…the end of time
itself. Who am I kidding, that ship sailed by a long time ago.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
3 more seconds.
Tick.
Tick.
And so it began.
On this most momentous of occasions, I’d like to pay homage
to the greatest invention ever made.
No, I don’t mean the back scratcher. Yes, I know how
awesome it is…Yes…I...
No, Victoria Secrets has nothing to do with it. Nope. Not
even Apple. I said NO!
What I was saying was, the greatest of all inventions
has to be, the diminutive ‘Cog Wheel’.
Yeah, save the groans until after you hear me out
.
The Cog is the symbol of all things ‘change’. Da Vinci in a
moment of greatness might’ve uncovered a device that would change the face of
the earth in the years to come. For in the spiked wheel, one does not just come
across a vital of piece of everyday circuitry but something quite extraordinary.
For in considering the cog, we look at an image of change.
Its sequential rotations bring about perennial motions that have the ability to
fire a change of immense consequences. It shows of how huge clockwork devices
weighing tons are fired by the smallest of cogs.
Taking this into everyday life, it’s amazing how a miracles
can be created by the teensiest of actions.
Just as how the greatest waves start with the smallest of
ripples.
How the greatest books start with the smallest of words.
How the greatest orgasms start with the smallest of.......Ok-aaaaay,
didn’t really know where I was going with that.
It should then be considered that in the year to come, what
we willingly or unwillingly do has the ability to effect the lives of those
around us. A small scowl or uncalled-for comment has the power to bring down a
person’s will while something as small as a smile has the potential to lift a
heart, and that is as priceless a feeling as one can possibly feel.
It’s quite worth the thought, is it not?
Stop a single cog and father time himself comes to his
knees. Just imagine what a small deed done with the best of intentions could do?
Maybe it couldn’t give us world peace but an answering smile
is, quite frankly, just as beautiful.
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! Thanks for reading ^_^
