"The truth is light and light is the truth.
When I finish all four walls, then I'll start on the floor.
Just how that will go, I don't know."
--"Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison--
Bodies of water, anything from the Atlantic to Loch Ness to a puddle. Movement. Shakespeare. Reading, writing, superb storytelling (like my father's telling of "Beowulf"). Female poets and musicians from the 1950's and 60's. Experimental theatre. Good wine and recipes. A loaf of good bread, cheese and genuine company. I love learning new words and having extraordinary, random occurrences on the subway. Discovering new favorite parts of New York. Nailing an audition. Falling in love. Purple tights. England. Travel. Rome. Garcia Lorca. Chekhov. Theresa Rebeck. Seeing the most unlikely person blush. Bridges. Finding that ever illusive peace.
Abraham Lincoln and Bjork. Separately.
Below is the Screamig Orphans Music Video "Circles". I'm the one with the balloon.
For your local listening pleasure, titillate your eardrums with these fantastic artists (and beautiful people).
