Roll up! Roll up! It’s almost Showtime!
… but, as well as the drama and the spectacle of carnival, country fair and cabaret, Showtime can also be crunch time – the moment when opposing forces or divergent energies collide.
To demonstrate this, the most entertaining circus of them all will soon creak towards us – the national election, with its skilled performers, drama, and buffoonery. So, maybe the cry should be ‘enrol up!’
At a personal level, we all strut and fret briefly on the stage under spotlights of varying wattage, costumed, masked, bedecked…
The star performer though, always capable of upstaging our most dazzling production, is nature.
