A clip of our rehearsals, in preparation for the upcoming show!
I know that I am responsible for HOW I experience.
That, what has shaped me now shapes what I see by HOW I see.
Who I am is just a culmination of how I have judged my experiences, what I deem good and bad...
in what I see, how I feel, in deciding how IT should be.
What is IT? Life? Experience?
That the eyes I see through are veiled with past experience of loss or triumph, with expectant desire, missing what's ACTUALLY there.
I feel with a body of invisible scars, each experience impressed it's shape into my skin, holding my lungs with anticipation of what may come.
My pathway of thoughts decided for me by what I've been told is the truth. The way IT is, funneling my beliefs into clean defined boxes. Ones that reflect what's desired of me.
This is up, this is down. This is RIGHT this is Wrong...
but without one, there is not the other.
