Phenomenon: The Circle of Life
When thinking about phenomena, I immediately thought of my favorite Disney movie, The Lion King, and the lesson Mufasa teaches Simba about the Circle of Life. Mufasa tells Simba, "When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life."
"Everything you see exists together, in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance, and respect all the creatures-- from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."
The Circle of Life is a phenomenon; it has things, frameworks, and clockworks. The lions, antelope, zebras, giraffes, and other animals make up the things in the Circle of Life.
The Circle of Life has frameworks and clockworks; the animals repeatedly go through the same cycle. The circle of life also has specific starting points. It begins when an animal, for example, a lion, is born. The cycle is then predictable; the lion will eat other animals, and when the lion dies, he becomes the grass, and the animals eat the grass, and the cycle continue…
Mufasa's Ghost
It's The Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
The Circle Continues
