circle of life.

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found... 

today was the first time i realized how cool the lyrics are to this song. 
im usually  too busy just belting it as loud as humanly possible without
 thinking about the  meaning. it is so applicable. there are so
many times when i feel like there really  is way too much to take in. 
too much feeling and emotion for one body to handle.  too many things to learn.
 too many things to do. we often feel overwhelmed. like we are trying 
to, with our small pitchers, water a field instead of a garden. i know i do.
we need to realize: 

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

that all these things we feel. all the overwhelming thoughts- they help

 us find our place on the path  unwinding. our paths are unwinding 

with every new experience, with every heartache, with  every joyous

 moment, with every new place we go, and with every new thing we learn. 

the lion king is one of my all time favorite movies (I've watched it three times

in the last 2 months)it is one of President Monson's favorite too. he quoted it 

in his talk at BYU a couple weeks ago.   anyways....
