LIFE MIRRORS ART - MIRRORS LIFE. What am I holding on to?  Is it the role I’ve been playing in life? Or the one that emulates it on stage?  I have been trotting along — at a good pace, moving forward, totally engaged in my own momentum to ‘get shit done’ and tie loose ends and ride the waves of creative surges.  Preparing myself to plunge into the uknown in a graceful flourish – ‘here i go!!’  To fly away on Valentine’s Day, begin my quest for a new life, for love.   But then,  something hooks me and I remain open for something — down the line, to repeat?  Am I not finished with these loops in my life? What is it that I have not learned?  If I am not aware I will repeat my patterns no matter where I am and who I’m with. You keep repeating patterns if you don’t grow beyond them.  So, what draws me back in…?  Even if its just a theatrical rendition of my life — why do it?  Will it be different once I am different –  is it catharsis or part of the growth or can I bring to it the truth that lives in me from having lived that role?  And in playing that part — will I then be drawn to re-live it?
