This morning I listened to the news and then to a lecture on the Russian Revolution.There has been a focus, today, that is both falsified and needed.
This afternoon was amazing, in the true sense of the word. Artists, whom I respect and have admired from afar for years now, were a few feet away from me, making eye contact and shyly shuffling about. I felt fortunate, beyond words, to be in their private and invited presence. So different than what it is like to be at an opening of theater or an exhibit. Impressive to study and watch them as they interacted with me and with each other in their true selves. Acting and directing both remain a mystery to me in their disciplines and art forms. Incredible to be in such an intimate space with these hands and mouths.
In other news: Fear.
It is something both necessary and something needed to be flushed away.
I am not afraid. I have seen to much on the other side to think, for one moment, that there is anything more substantial than a pitiful pile of salt that comprises it. Fear. Step past it. Better yet, step through it. The feeling of its weight as it sheds from you is exhilarating.
be well; be loved.
