Keep on Turning
“Consider
the blinded beast that turns the wheel of the mill, which though it sees not,
neither knows what it does, yet does a great work in grinding the corn, and
although the mule does not taste of the flour, yet its Master receives the
fruit, and many people benefit from the mule’s trudging labor." --Miguel de
Molinos, 1575
