Tears of a Clown.

My mind went in several directions for this challenge ~ "The Eyes Have It."
This composition includes two new photos, a self-portait and photo of a clown painting.
(Some of you know I was a professional clown-storyteller for over 20 years.)

"Streams of tears flow from my eyes . . . my eyes will flow unceasingly,
without relief, until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees.
What I see brings grief to my soul . . ." Lamentations 3:49-51)

"The Light of the Body is the Eye." (Matthew 6:22; Luke 11:34)

"Now the body is not made up of one part but of many . . . say not I am not part of the body because . . . If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?"
(1 Corinthians 12:14, 17)
