# the circle of life — Meme Lab

Use the circle of life when a small beginning points toward a much larger inevitable process.

- What it expresses: Escalation over time: the circular handoff from one ending into another beginning represents a moment where a small beginning points toward a much larger inevitable process.
- Example: For example, a five-minute fix becomes an all-week migration; the visual analogy is the circular handoff from one ending into another beginning, signaling that a small beginning points toward a much larger inevitable process.
- When not to use it: Avoid when the work stays small and contained; the circular handoff from one ending into another beginning would incorrectly signal that a small beginning points toward a much larger inevitable process.
