“And the seasons they go round and round, and the painted ponies go up and down. We’re captive on a carousel of time” – Joni Mitchell
The circle of life is represented with the seasons on trees on the never ending carousel we all ride. Some of us get off early. Some ride until the winter of our lives, no longer able to climb up on the horse. The sun rays through the roiling clouds bring Life, and that is where we return.
