This poor creature has been doing its best to fit in with the flow of our lives, playing along with the circus in our minds and generally putting on a good show, but it can only pretend for so long. It’s time for us to take care of our mental health mammoth.

The balancing act on display in this image reminds me of this painting. You can watch the making of The Woolly Mammoth in the Room.
