Rhythm of Life

I woke up in the middle of the night last night.  I couldn't fall back to sleep because I thought of the line in the Morrissey song "Oboe Concerto", "Round, round rhythm of life goes round".  What is the rhythm of life?  Does it really go round?  If it does go round, does it go clockwise, counterclockwise, both or neither?  These items went round and round in my head, as I do believe there is a rhythm to life. It can be a good, positive rhythm or a bad, negative rhythm.  I gradually drifted back to sleep but awoke troubled with the questions circulating through my consciousness.  I knew of only 1 soul who could answer my question.  It was the lovely Star Maiden, Astraea.  I posed the question to the lovely lady this morning and received a thoughtful, gracious reply which I deeply appreciate.

@FadingGoldLeaf Hello lovely lady, I have a ?. Do you feel the rhythm of life goes clockwise, counterclockwise, both or neither?

@OdysseyNumber5 Hello my gentle little chicken. The rhythm of life is the record player. You decide what you want it to play for you.

@OdysseyNumber5 And how loud

The lovely Star Maiden's reply to my message has given me a lot of food for thought I must contemplate and try to apply it to my life, situations in my life and those I am close to.

And now for one of my favorite Morrissey songs: "Oboe Concerto".
