Cycles

"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" - Joni Mitchell

Is life a circle game? Or a linear journey leading us somewhere? Either way it is filled with cycles. My fluctuating hormones would be one reminder, as is the current seasonal rain. Relief does follow storms - thunderstorms and internal storms. The record high temperatures are cooling. My body says thank you for the cycles of life.
