I guess it's dead

On a whim, I checked the Feld Entertainment page today.
All circus-related stuff has been taken down.
The ringling.com website still exists, but anything about auditions or "coming soon" has been removed, and all links on the site reroute to Feld.

This is the first time that I've seen Ringling totally removed from the Feld site.

I'm sad.
But it's also good, because it has felt like a much less comedic version of Weekend at Bernie's.
It's dead, for f*ck's sake. Let it rest.
Before covid, there was a chance of reanimating the circus corpse. Now we'll never see it again.

It feels like something that died years ago can finally be put to rest, as it should have been the first time, as it deserves. As all of us deserve.

I'm glad for that, but sad for the little part of my soul that dies along with it.
Like the part that died with my mother, like the part that died with my love of music.

I really hope reincarnation is a thing. Because there truly is nothing else left for me to do here but water my plants and wait.
