Clown

We are all born funny. We come into the world with something unique, something off-balance. It’s what drives your loved ones mad or makes them fall in love with you. It is the most intimate part of ourselves, it is why we get back up when we fall down. It’s what makes us most Human, it’s what makes us poetic. Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually…Ecumenically. It is the Clown.

The question is not “do we each have a clown?” or “can you find your clown?” The question is how much of yourself are you willing to reveal today—and celebrate in a very grand way?   1674_41289113439_7336_n

Throughout history, the Clown has played a vital role in our communities. Cross-culturally, the Clown has been looked to in order to reveal what is most human about us all and asks us to laugh about it.
