I'm starting this blog as a challenge to myself, really. A challenge to take the time to reflect a bit on the day, and to make note of at least one moment of truth & beauty. Every day.
Two moments today:
This afternoon I cried with a friend. She took an outstanding risk to be true to her soul, and I cried when I told her how proud I was of her for being so brave and true to herself. She didn't know I'd noticed how much she needed to take that risk, and cried at the realization that I knew how much was at stake. To know and be known-- Isn't that all we need?
This evening, I laughed so hard I could hardly breathe. This, on the same day that found me in tears a half a dozen times before noon. It was thanks to "Skydive" by the Realwheels Theatre Project. I'm thankful today for the gift of theatre, for writers who bother to put down on paper the fantastic imaginings of their minds, for inventors who want to see dancers defy gravity, for actors who take the risk of embodying the thoughts and words of another, for the directors and stage managers and technicians who make it all happen, for the friends who know that a good dose of theatre can do wonders (Thanks, Maria!). Thanks be to God for creative genius. If you have a chance to see "Skydive", take it. For info, go to www.realwheels.ca.
