I had a request...

...that I post something that reflects me. Personally I hope all my writing reflects me otherwise I don't think it would be my writing.

For MYTH (current show/project) we have been keeping journals so I looked through and one of the projects I found that we had to do was to write as a witness. To observe something in its natural state and try to write about it completely objectively. So here it goes. Points to the person who guesses what I'm writing about (it's in nature).

Wind its way up the tree, soft and settled
Engulf the branches, simply, without organization
No movement, still as the tree itself
Sunlight falls in select spots
Poised in creation
Grow and live in a peaceful rest

This was such a hard assignment for me. I felt like I failed miserably. The great thing about writing is that there's so much room for experimenting and changing and rewriting. Nothing is set in stone. That piece has been edited a couple times already and I still feel a little unsatisfied. Such is the nature of the art.

This next one is a monologue that I wrote during the rehearsal process in response to a cast member's experience.

Watch me leave because that is what I am doing. Not to spite you, and certainly not because I hate you. But out of love for you. You may not understand that, you may not want that but I am not concerned right now with what you want. It's what you need that I care about most.
Your broken heart is breaking mine and all of a sudden there are no more words for you. My silence is my solace. My gift. My relief.
Maybe you don't need words right now either. Or maybe I don't know what you need or what you want. Maybe I don't even know you at all.
Or maybe, maybe this is all useless and I should just leave.
