"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Staging the show:


(Do you see those balloons?  Very hard to come by, my friends.  You know, there is a helium shortage nowadays, and no one in Iowa carries balloons anymore.  Luckily WalMart has a balloon kit you can buy because this was all I had planned on for circus scenery.)



There was a brief time when one of my wild animals broke his leg and another was going to be out of town, so I recruited M and a friend to be stand-in animals.  While the whole class eventually danced, M and her friend got to dance too.  Check out M's roar:


GQ was an excellent roar-er.
