But even the unexpected happens in a circus life. A kid drops his lollipop and cries, a mother worries for losing her daughter in the mad crowd of the lion show, a man is turned down in his wedding proposal, and even Mr. Clown cannot escape sadness and tears.
On stage or after the show, life goes on as it pleases. Given a set of choices, we feel empowered to be in such control. But something will always get the better of us. Just when we are left unguarded, just when we are at our most vulnerable state, we experience a situation that pulls us down beyond our imagination. We grimace at the thought of its unexpectedness, and we let ourselves cry. We can dwell on it, wallow in it, and simply sulk, but we could also shrug it off, thinking tomorrow will be a new opening. Same old show, in a different day, but just maybe, the sun will rise from a different pole, and we see a new horizon for the things we hope for.
