The Carousel


Nostalgia - it's delicate, but potent.


Teddy told me that in Greek, "nostalgia" literally means "the pain from an old wound."


It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone.


This device isn't a spaceship...


it's a time machine.


It goes backwards...


and forwards...


It takes us to a place where we ache to go again.


It's not called the wheel,


it's called the carousel.


It let's us travel the way a child travels

around and around


and back home again


...to a place where we know are loved.
