 Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail. Andra Davis

Inhale the calm
Exhale the strife
This simple solace

There is only one success - - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

The genius of clowning is 
transforming the little, 
everyday annoyances, 
not only overcoming, 
but actually transforming 
them into something strange 
and terrific… it is the power 
to extract mirth for millions 
out of nothing and 
less than nothing.

born on Jan 10, 1880 
in the Swiss Canton of Bern.
 He was the toast of European entertainment as 
Grock the Clown.

  10. Good morning, Cloudia. I’m in Chicago right now and saw my granddaughter graduate on Sunday and then have her party and then watch her dance all in one day. It was an exhausting day, but so very precious for her and for all of us.
    Today…it’s really cold and rainy and I would love to see a rainbow and be warm again. :-)
