Emphasis Preaching Journal

At the petting zoo there is a small carousel with five ponies tethered to a pole. Round and round they go in circles, wearing blinders to keep them from seeing far ahead, harnessed into a path that never changes. The small children who have never ridden on a horse are delighted with the experience, but they soon tire of the little circular path. So, the children are removed from the saddles and new children mount up. The ponies go round and round, again and again, in an uneventful and unimaginative parade that goes nowhere.
