2013/2014 Holiday Message

Want to wish all a great new year and that you will have the health insurance you need!!

I keep reading on this cloudless California day how the country is falling behind in health care, education, even broadband…though the internet was America’s gift to the world. Mix in immigration reform, global warming (climate change)…the oceans are rising, racial problems (still!), poverty (still!), homeless, mental issues (not just with Congress!) with no one to treat them…as the country’s descent into never-never land continues….

But the wine is good and love and kindness abound…

Thank you for your friendship. Your practicalness, your very realness and rational selves are not taken lightly or for granted….

Drink a toast this new year to friends we are, and friends we will be. The community is a very special and caring one.  Still — Wouldn’t you love to be a dictator for a couple of months.

2013 Thanksgiving Message

This is so late!!!  To one and all – a happy Thanksgiving. It is a wonderful holiday, and there is so much to be thankful for. Sorry this is so short, but promise to write pages and pages of thoughts, plans, Dark S. updates, books ,film, and reflections on how much you all have meant to me….if anyone reads this. I have been blessed. We all have our frustrations with the little agitations of life…like Washington, DC. politics. Did like what the Pope had to say yesterday. Like him. … Again, my love to all and will be better about writing.

Notes Poetry

A Mountaintop Experience

Without love there is no life,
like an actor without a role.
A good play, like love, thrills and moves with
the intense clarity, lightness, and inspiring awe
of a mountaintop experience.
It is a pilgrimage, fielded with greens,
ripe berries, and clear water, out of
the avenue of self to a place of unity,
where ego is sacrificed for relationship,
where the funniest, even the strangest things
seem to be happening, a place even where
there are no words,
only a depth of solitude.
That moment for actor and audience
is forever theirs.
Feeling safe and secure in this
enchanted secret garden, they know
what they want, understand that in
each other you are one, grounded,
most centered, at peace, at home-
not settling down, but seeking life,
building a place together, not enclosing,
rather a refuge, where you can
touch, and hold, and know
each other – even when apart.
Theatre’s light of love has reached out,
touching, bringing audience and actor
within its warm glow,
renewing their faith and confidence
in a future, providing hope for their
frustrations, doubts, and despairs.
The darkness of the soul, stilled
by the theatre’s light of love.

Thank you for taking me to the mountaintop.
Thank you for your gift of love.
