[Rainbow D. Clown]

For the same reason most of us are clowns. It takes us back to a time when we were children, the world was good, people were innocent and the only thing we thought about was the moment at hand. That is why when we clown, we clown for all ages. Children see a warm inviting character that takes them to another "deminsion" if you will. The performances and abilities of a clown are beyond those in their normal everyday lives, and yet innocent at the same time, so they are taken to a magical moment. Adults are reminded of the times they too were taken to that demension when they were young, and didn't worry about the day to day stresses and involvements. Clowns bring about a positive state of mind where there are no illnesses, bad people, death, foreclosures, bullys, bills to pay, teenagers out of control, lack of medication, or too high gases prices or no dessert after dinner. It is very psychologically theraputic. A clowns presence says, two things; there is a friend here who accepts me and my world just the way I am, wow! things could be a lot worse than they are!

Dixon, I'd love to hear your secret, but that's my secret.
