“You know how everyone’s always saying seize the moment?” she asks. “I don’t know, I’m kind of thinking it’s the other way around, you know, like the moment seizes us.” - Boyhood
A couple of days ago, I had the opportunity to work with a spoken word artist and famous hip hop dancers to produce an inspiring show about taking risks and letting go.
On Halloween, one of my friends was convinced that a guy in the bar had done the best "Steve Jobs", but the rest of us were pretty sure that guy hadn't actually dressed up. :)
Last night, the makeshift contraption (intended to protect my room from a leaky ceiling until the roof is fixed) started leaking...so, I stood on a tarp on my bed, holding duct taped plastic and a funnel, trying to catch water for about an hour and a half until the rain stopped.
I'm performing in a show that travels to public parks, which means cute dogs spontaneously join us for our scenes.
I recently received a confusing and unwanted goodbye that broke my heart.
I put on my rose colored glasses and do my best to remember: that I am surrounded by amazing opportunities for art and inspiration in my life, there's humor everywhere, I'm strong enough to hold things together even when everything seems like it's falling apart, there's a reason why dogs always steal the show, and a broken heart means that there was love...
The moment seizes us.
