Think about all the emotions you feel when visiting the Circus. The first act is with the monkeys and clowns. We giggle at the cheekiness of their tricks.
Then the harrowing acrobats flipping through the air. Leaving us breathless and in awe of their death defying performance.
You’ve never seen all the young girls in the audience so quiet when the Princess comes riding out on her Pony. Wondering if your child has forgotten to blink, she’s so enthralled.
As that act finishes the Cowboys and Indians come out for the boys. Now it’s their turn to be captivated. The bad guys start to take over and the audience is in an uproar.
Each act delivered to stir all your emotions. While we’re spell bound by the performances we don’t feel a sense of loss when one act comes to an end. We watch, observe and enjoy it for what it is. A passing moment.
That’s how we should experience our feelings. Every emotion makes itself known to us. It has the potential to shift our mood. When all we had to do was acknowledge it without reacting. Aware it will move on.
