Urban Stillness: Circles of Growing Up

Ferris wheels are among the first monuments we remember.

As children, they felt immense. The highest point in the city. A promise of wonder and fear intertwined. Time moved slowly, each rotation filled with anticipation.

As adults, the structure reveals itself. Steel, balance, repetition. The view returns, smaller than memory, quieter than expectation.

What changes is not the wheel, but us.

It turns as it always has, carrying different versions of the same life.

Seen in retrospect.
