acting

In the midst of it all, I'm drawn to acting...to the emotional movement, the detail...the overall quest of the playwright and the honor of interpreting it. ..a chance to create a life...to learn more about the human condition and the wonder of humanity... so much...

I've been given that in the form of Lary Bloom's new play...

....more on this later...

Blogging on a sunny afternoon

It's the beginning of Fall...not officially, but as mid-September arrives, there is no way but forward into the next season...

I looked at my last blog and saw the challenges I wrote about in January....the challenges remain as Monica's condition has deteriorated.

She came down with pneumonia in April which developed into more cancer in her right lung. She's lost a lot of weight and is on an oxygen machine here at home, as well as using a walker to get around. It's amazing what has happened to her body. She's physically weak, but....but....

BUT....

............Despite all of that....she remains hopeful. Her eyes shine with love. We are both open to a miracle happening.

She's shed a lot of emotional baggage that use to bog her down. She sees the futility in hanging onto the past. She lives to live, to create, to continue, to share her life with mine.....and I....right next to her, live to have her live on...
