This is a circus from my mind to yours. A cacophony of sounds and drums, trumpets, and swirls. A happy place to be. This has Eastern roots and for me suggests a story I read from “The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.” The story loosely told is about an elephant heading directly towards a man walking in its path and the walker’s firm belief God would save him if he did nothing. He of course got trampled. A wise man approached him and asked why he did not get out of the way. He gave his reason, to which the wise man told him that God, in the form of the driver, had told him to get out of the way many times.
