i think carousels are megapretty
it brings you down the passage of time
back to childhood when nothing ceased to matter
no matter how old you are
when you get on a carousel
you spin into a childlike state
all your worries evaporate as the horses rise and fall in rhythmic sequence
the senses are aroused
the colourful structures
the fairy-tale-ish horses
the carnival-ish music
the giggles and squeals of excitement
no worries no fears no tears
only joy excitement happiness
that is ...
until the carousel stops spinning
the horses stop bobbing
and the music stops playing
and you are thrust back into cold harsh reality
that life will never be that way
