The FIrst Time All Over Again

Stepping into my new big top for the very first time was a pretty powerful moment. I've performed in a tent before, but this is different.

For starters, this is the first time I'm in a tent that performs in the round. The ring has a ring wall and everything. It's like walking into that romantic vision of the circus you have from childhood. But what really gets me is the smell. Oh how I just love the smell...

This circus puts down a fair bit of sawdust. The tent smells of canvas and cedar and it is absolutely intoxicating.

I stared doing circus ten years ago, I don't know that I ever expected to feel that kind of magic again. What a gift...
