Vol. 6 No. 4
Clown National Guard: The Clowns continued to go
down to ease the burden of the workers at Ground Zero in
NYC. These are their stories.
We Caring Clowns go not to mock tragedy,
but to caress it with our compassion,
We march straight into the battlefields of grief,
Armed with unconditional love, and our joyful silliness,
We bring a reminder of the resilience
and brilliance of the human spirit.
Gently tickling the heart and gathering forces in play,
we give fear a hearty shove.
Ah, Maybe the trickster Coyote has a soft belly after all.
