As (hospital) clowns, how can we strengthen life when we meet pain, suffering, sadness and all other emotions and thoughts that accompany the dying process? And how can we manage the frustration that springs from the feeling of being out of place?

 

In a time of loss, pain can clear us. Lays low our will power, the illusion of control, the countless comforting certainties to which we hold on to and instead leave us in touch with the mystery of the unknown. We can try to cover with the veil of knowing all that which checkmates our presumed knowledge. But we can also put an uncertain foot on that shaky groundand listen. Listen to what is there, say yes to the unknown, trust the organic knowledge that includes us, once more, into life’s movement and that suggests that our clown work on acceptance, transformation and the amazing vitality of our way of answering.
