SUN TAROT CARD
Story
The Fool wakes at dawn from his long, dark night of the soul to find that the river has deposited him in a
serene pool. There is a walled garden around this pond dominated by roses, lilies and splendid, nodding
sunflowers. Stepping ashore, he watches the sun rise overhead. The day is clear. A child's laughter
attracts his attention and he sees a little boy ride a small white pony into the garden.
"Come!" says the little boy, leaping off the horse and running up to him. "Come see!" And the child
proceeds to take the Fool's hand and enthusiastically point out all manner of things, the busy insects in
the grass, the seeds and petals on the sunflowers, the way the light sparkles on the pond. He asks
questions of the Fool, simple but profound ones, like "Why is the sky blue?" He sings songs, and plays
games with the Fool.
At one point the Fool stops, blinking up at the Sun so large and golden overhead, and he finds himself
smiling, wider and brighter than he has in a very long time. He has been tested and tried, confused and
scared, dismayed and amazed. But this is the first time that he has been simply and purely happy. His
mind feels illuminated, his soul light and bright as a sunbeam, and it's all thanks to this child with his
simple questions, games and songs. This boy has helped the Fool see the world and himself anew.
"Who are you?" the Fool asks the child at last. The child smiles at this and seems to shine. And then he
grows brighter and brighter until he turns into pure sunlight.
"I'm you," the boy's voice says throughout the garden, "The new you." And as the words fill the Fool with
warmth and energy, he comes to realize that this garden, the sun above, the child, all exist within him. He
has just met his own inner light.

CIRCUS ACTS
1. Juggling
- Juggling is a skill you CAN try to learn at home where learning to juggle three balls is a real
achievement. Jugglers in the circus can do way more than that. Several balls at one time, clubs,
hoops, burning sticks, knives - they juggle an extraordinary range of items. Juggling is one of my
favourite performance acts. It requires practice, hand-eye coordination and a fun accompanying
patter to keep the crowd engaged.
2. Fire Dancing
- Fire dancing is a loose term that encompasses a variety of skills involving twirling, throwing, and
juggling objects that are on fire. There are literally dozens of different methods of fire dancing.
Two popular methods are Fire Poi and Fire Staff.
3. Acrobatics
- Acrobatics is a specialized activity that is incorporated into gymnastics, diving, and dance in the
