emotion emotion emotion

I came across these words below by writer Pamela Wilson. Clown Master Philippe Gaulier spoke about how emotions pass easily through the clown. There is a lovely tie-in with The Sedona Method (which I believe Pamela Wilson has studied too). In the Sedona Method, emotions are held lightly (think of a pen rolling in the palm as opposed to gripped in a fist), so they can be welcomed or released or allowed to shift of their own accord. The magical aspect of a well-played clown happens when the audience's minds and hearts are expanded. As Clown practitioner Dave Spathaky recently said in a Clown Power post; where words are absent or few, we are more likely to enter an unbounded realm where ideas and emotions are unfixed and unconfined by labels.
I feel Pamela Wilson's words also saw something about Clown genius as well...
​
'Sorrow when uncontained is compassion.
Desire, when uncontained, is satisfaction.
Anger, when liberated, is big strength.
Fatigue, when dived into, is deep peace.
Judgement, when honoured, is discernment.
Unworthiness, when met, is humility.
Fear, when soothed, is natural courage.
Frustration is the invitation to return to the unlimited.
Pride, when met, is dignity.
Seriousness is your gravitas.
Naiveté unveils itself as innocence,
Which unveils itself as majesty.
Not knowing - even confusion - when met, reveals itself as wisdom in its potentiality: pure intelligence.'
