I was very lucky to have the chance to play Henry the old Shakespearean actor in a production of "The Fantasticks" this fall. November is fall, right? I got to deliver some really searing lines that really affected me then and have continued to stay with me.
"Remember me- in light."
I'm back in Memphis after what seems like a whirlwind of vacations. A week in Disney World. A few days in Chattanooga. A quick stay in Mobile. Plenty of food, plenty of fun, plenty of hours in the car.
This is what just so happens to be my final week at work. All of my younger friends will be returning to school in about a week, so I will have a little less than a month somewhat to myself. I suppose I should take that time to get my life together and, well, prepare myself for what's ahead of me.
I was given this one quote today. To be quite honest, I am still working on figuring it out and making complete sense of it. I need a park to sit in. I need to go there and simply think about these words- apply them, relate them, breathe them.
"Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite."
Edward Albee said it... or wrote it.
I'll try to lose myself in thought and find the meaning along the way.
