Hello all light working friends -
I had to chime in about the song ‘Send in the Clowns’. Oddly I woke up with this song in my head a few weeks ago. I thought it was a message from my mom that passed away last year. I ended up remembering she liked that song. As has been discussed the song is about sending in the clowns when something goes wrong in the circus. Christmas Eve something happened to me personally so I thought that was the message, but now I am wondering if it’s about this terrible stuff happening with Iran. It’s just like ‘wag the dog’. I have had a very bad feeling when the news came out.
Now my last waking dream a week ago was Otis Reading ‘Sitting on top of the bay watching the tide roll away’. These song dreams just started happening for me. I do feel it is messages coming from spirit. Very interesting..

I keep hearing Judy Collins singing "Send in the Clowns" when I read about it.
https://youtu.be/8L6KGuTr9TI a poignant reflection of timing and irony. Of course in the Traveling Circus rules when an unplanned circumstance or disaster in performing occurred the clowns were sent out to distract the restless questioning crowd while behind the scenes the staff dealt with the issue for the "show to go on" ...seems most apropos in the context we are discussing here.
I remember the line from the “Send in the Clowns” song that says, “Don’t bother, they’re here”
I think it represents the current administration, their incompetence and the circus-like atmosphere that they think will bring them a large audience. Being in the middle of a clown show would be bad enough, but now we are at real risk of being thrust into a war.
I think you both are right and hit the nail on the head with your remarks. I believe they will do something to distract too when I read that from journeywithme2.
I think things are two fold sometimes. This may have still been a message from your mom too. ? ?
Send In The Clowns
( Last Stanza)
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year
In reviewing the song right now (I used to sing it at home a lot while growing up) the last stanza stood out.
Losing my timing this late in my career

Two thoughts.
Thought 1: What if this is about Trump recognizing things sare not going according to plan and he is trying to figure out how to distract, but it is getting harder to figure that out.
Thought 2: What if the same lyrics describe the Republican Senators and Congressmen. Especially the older established ones who have been supporting Trump and are now stuck. "Next year" is the next election.
I was just about to post about these lyrics myself and the last verse in particular - completely agree with both thoughts......and that things are not going according to plan for either in question.
More is coming out from the daughter of Hofeller, GOP strategist who died last year [suicide?]:
...I've had this dream five times since last May. Each time I wake up quite disturbed.
Wow, @rosieheart! This is feeling even more significant, which concerns me a bit—at the very least, for who else it might impact.
I haven't seen the same glass door, or that he's in a high rise residence, or heard the sound of a ringing phone (if it matters, my perspective is limited to an ornate coffee table in front of him; a large, maybe impressionist, oil painting in gold frame directly behind him; very high ceilings with large moldings; and a big window streaming daylight in a room further off to his right), but I do very much get the impression that he has quickly taken refuge in this space while the goings-on in the world around him are all very noisy and insistent and overwhelming.
And that would certainly be the case were anything at all of significance to happen to a public figure—the press would be hounding, at the very least.
