Foolhardy Folk Circus Arts

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”

I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.

As a warrior you take responsibility for holding the balance between light and dark within you and, by extension, the world around you, and ultimately when you go deep enough, the Universe.
