Circus Maximus in Sotto Voce
(sic transit gloria mundi in sotto voce)
There is room for many rides and stalls; there is room for the Buddha ride, the Jesus ride, the Allah ride, the Jehovah ride, The Shaman Ride, the Cult Ride, the Zen Ride (when someone just slaps you in the face repeatedly) the Atheist Ride (it's the shortest one, except for the Zen one) the Krishna Ride (it's the longest ride, but there is a Jagganatha involved and you can easily just get crushed under the wheels)), all there, and plenty more, among the Amusements in the Theme Park of the Self.

It travels around all the time, that Great and Mystical and Lovely Circus, but every now and then, some nights, you can see the lights from it when it comes to the outskirts of your town; and you will hear the most heavenly strands of music coming from it, so deep soft and warm in indolent sweet rhythms, so entraining, so purely human; and you know it's only a short barefoot walk in your cute and yet somehow daggy Zen pyjamas, from where you are right now.
