Fall is coming. Like Atlas, who was invincible when his feet touched the earth, I am invincible when the weather turns cold and windy.1. My mom doesn't have cancer anywhere else. They called, she's clean. They take her tube out tomorrow.
2. My brother called.
3. Bart gave me a lifetime pass to his rehearsal rooms -- any play, any time, no prior arrangement needed.
4. Got a little catch-up sesh in with the housemate.
5. Learned my old studio at MS is shutting down, which made me feel instantly better about having left.
6. Got invited to see John's new house Sunday. Should be inspiring.
I graphed my theatre work over the last seven years. It follows a cycle -- growing, snowballing, climaxing, then falling off. Giancarlo said, "They are all at the same time of year. You never work in summer." It's because summer is too hot. My activity and achievements begin in fall, build in winter, peak in spring.
I have friends for whom the opposite is true. I call us "lizards" and "polar bears." The lizards get happy, frisky, horny, and smart in hot weather, while the polar bears lie around in a stupor. When it gets cold , the lizards shut down and the bears come out to play.
I am definitely a polar bear. I went to Russia in December, Denmark/Hungary/Poland/Wales in November. I like icy months in northern countries. The coastal winds off Wales and Denmark are a spiritual experience.
Now that the heat is fading, I grow smarter and stronger by the day.
