As Joni Mitchell has sung, “And the painted ponies go up and down, we’re captive on a 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.”

You never know what we'll churn up in cleaning a stall
As Joni Mitchell has sung, “And the painted ponies go up and down, we’re captive on a 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.”

Especially when the sun barely rises above the horizon.
Somewhere in the winter ahead.
It was a place meant to be worked by horses.
A covered bridge just down the hill.
Some promises are fulfilled.
Some are broken.
Some go up in smoke.
What would life be without them?
