I can see clearly why it would bring to mind The Circle Game. More surpisingly for me, i was thinking more or less the same thing yesterday. About how lessons keep presenting themselves until we recognize them and learn them. Some of these lessons are not easy at all and they would differ from person to person. It is strange that although the circumstances may differ and the people may differ, the lesson is the same. At least that is what i was thinking about a particular 'lesson' I think I have to come to grips with. bw colin
