20 minutes lower-body weight training
1 hour Hatha yoga
Ouch. I haven't been doing much yoga lately. It's all well and good to convince yourself that you're exercising enough to compensate, but you can't really fool your muscles.
I've struggled a few times to describe clown to laypeople, but here's John Wright doing it a mere 20 pages into his book:
I'm not interested in the big shoes or baggy trousers of the circus clown so much as clowning as a level of play--an imaginative key into the bizarre--and for some people, this key is immensely liberating. This is a place where you aren't required to be clever or witty or obviously skillful. Here, you're simply invited to generate meaning from the inconsequential and the trivial--from the lowest common denominator of comedy.
A normal person can stand on the beach, look out to sea and scan the horizon, but a clown is unlikely to know what the horizon is. The clown lives in a world of bafflement where one thing leads to another. . . . The bizarre laugh comes from a place of immense honesty, simplicity, and naivety.
Amen.
