Ultimately forcing him to confront the possibility that sometimes it’s just the way it is and that’s just the way it is.

PLAYS IN THE HOUSE: FREE SPEECH: PERFORMING ARTISTS AND THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD - STARS IN THE HOUSE

I had the pleasure of participating in the Plays In The House program titled Free Speech: Performing Artists and the Power of the Spoken Word which was conceived by Peter Flynn and produced by Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley. Each artist was asked to read a piece of literature that was relevant, important, and personal to express their response to this moment in our country. It was beautiful and felt so right for the time.

The poem I shared was by Krista O’Reilly Davi-Digui “A Life in Progress”:

Fear is loud and bossy. She can be vicious at times. And the worst of it is that she often mingles truth with fiction. But you must learn to challenge the stories she feeds you. You get to be the boss of your thoughts. You can learn to question whether or not everything she tells you is truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Since you have done the work to deepen self-awareness and self-compassion, when she throws all your past failings in your face you won’t crumble because you already know you are imperfect…AND you are beautiful and resilient and worthy of building a thoughtfully crafted life.
