Day 132

Confession: When I was a young adult, I wanted to join the circus. I’d only been once, but I cried.

Afterwards I found I had to email them to ask if they were hiring instead of being able to hop on their train of wonders.

They weren’t.  So I dropped it.

Almost a decade later, I left my job to pursue the film industry. On my first day, I was instructed to follow the signs to circus.

To what?

I arrived to find people bustling to and fro: large tents, trailers, shuttles, food, costumes, makeup.

I stood there for a moment, realizing I’d joined the circus after all.

Sound of the day: I’ve looked for over an hour to find a specific piano piece but to no avail. It played over footage of Loïe Fuller that I guess no longer exists. All other versions don’t compare 😦 but here’s a silent link for your imagination.
