Have you ever seen the circus act? Keeping many plates spinning at once takes skill.

Could also call it juggling, same idea: never having just one, always rotating.

It's called spinning plates in reference to the circus act. Key is, once you get the plate spinning, all you have do is hold steady (hold frame).

Why is up called up and not down? Why is the sky blue and not red? Why do we do anything?
