The older I grow the more this rings true.

‘And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came

And go round and round and round
In the circle game’

The circle of life is a mixture of a carousel, roller coaster moments, looking for ourselves in the hall of mirrors, while slowly helter-skeltering towards the time when the music stops the lights go out and we leave this life.
