The Chinese Acrobat Show was the most impressive thing I have ever seen! They kept doing things which are impossible until you see them happen with your own eyes. The show started with young women spinning tops on strings. The tossed them in the air and kept them spinning. Then they flipped and caught them. They jumped on top of each other and caught them. They passed them to each other very quickly.
The next act was two young men doing tricks with pots. They balanced them skillfully. They dropped one on purpose to show how heavy it was. Then one of them would throw it up and catch on it his back and then on his head. Then he balanced it for a long time.
After that a man and woman suspended themselves by tying a ribbon around them that was hanging from the ceiling. They flew around the stage doing amazing tricks.
Then a contortionist came onto the stage. She did a headstand while balancing burning candles that girls put on her. Then there was a juggler who was very good. He also walked up and down stairs bouncing balls on each step. He had six going at once at the end.
The most impressive act was a man who balanced on a board on top of a cylinder. He did handstands and flips before landing on the board again. Then he put another cylinder under the board. Then he put another. He ended up with four of them. Then he put the board on top. Then he balanced and rotated the board around 360 degrees. That was incredible! I would watch it again if I get a chance.
“I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
