open


 

I need to leave these here.  We open tonight, and the impact that that process of the past few weeks has had on me just starting to sink in. I feel very... grateful.  And vulnerable.  And appreciated.  And emotional.

I want to live always in this state of flow.

Deliberately and engaged.

what it will be like

The days will start to get lighter, little by little.  You will start to feel the winter  wait  below your layers.  You will feel the tension of near spring as something starts to stir beneath the ground.  You will notice sparkles in the frost.  You will make eye contact with people you pass on the sidewalk.  Seeking.

There is a constant wailing and gnashing of keys. Blue sky replaced by the blue glow of tragedy and a choir of rage singing, incessantly, on loss loss loss fear fear fear Don't look  awaystayherestayhere Hard to believe that you share the same planet: peace of mind & piece of mind. There really won...
