7. circus

I went to the circus with my family yesterday evening. I used to like circus, but I have a bit difficulty with the idea of people doing risky things without really having a purpose to it. So, I had to work a bit on it and that is when it striked me, an insight.

I came to think that in my life I too live in the circus, and I too excersize many of those skills, just that my focus and training is on somewhat subtler issues of my character and path of the soul. But in there, I too at times hang on a rope, climb into hights, play on the line, wondering perhaps or making others wonder if I am going to fall. Juggling with balls of issues given me in this life, trying not to loose the pose and concentration, trying to learn the right movements that would make them stay as they should. And I at times train or wrestle animals inside me or weather changes around me. And at times I play and laugh and eat popcorn and have good time and feel like having a person or two to talk to and trust a bit. And to all of this there is a background of various sounds and a flute that calls me home when the lights finally turn off and last cleaning is done.

For that insight, for time with my family and for a real cool performance of jugglers in this circus I am grateful today.
