The circle of Life through the eyes of a square

The older I get things that I didn't understand when I was younger become clearly obvious. The circle of Life and my role in it leaves me scrambling to round the corners off the square that I had been bouncing around in all my Life. As the elders of our families die we find ourselves holding on to each end of the circle knowing that if we let go that everyone inside it will be lost in space. Now I can clearly see just how hard it was for those before me to hold on to both ends and keep the circle from breaking. A good family bond with the squares and triangles throughout Life will help you smooth out the edges to keep the circle unbroken.
