What is this Show, and why must it go on?

Somehow the circus seems to be something I can relate life in general to. Living, dying, joy and sadness all abound under every big top. We all know it.......that's why everyone goes.

This piece is called "Walking the Tight Rope" 16 x 20. Its a little slice of everyone's life......... Someone trying to perform an incredible task, under the blazing scrutiny of the public eye while life sets unpredictable road blocks ahead of him.

And I ask myself this.........Why do some people take to walking the tight rope while the rest of us sit in the audience and watch?
