Sometimes I think Mabel's avocation in life (at least during this, her third year of it) is riding carousels. The intent quiet joy, the serious focus combined with deep satisfaction, that she displays during this activity is not the giddy whirligig glee we associate with childish amusement, but rather the profound happiness we believe (and hope) comes with doing one's right and proper work in the world.
