SLOW LEARNER

SLOW LEARNER

  “Grief’s tough,” I tweeted the other day, along with this quote, “He did not say: You will not be troubled, you will not be belabored, you will not be disquieted; but he said: you will not be overcome.” Julian of Norwich I am amazed at how people manage to survive grief. I know they […]

I SAW MERCY LAST WEEK

I SAW MERCY LAST WEEK

Last Wednesday in New York City, I attended an open rehearsal of Complexions Contemporary Ballet. I love open rehearsals – you’re in the room with the dancers, there are no costumes, you hear them breathe, and the experience is up-close and personal. For the uninitiated, it’s a glimpse of what goes into making a performance. […]

GRIEF S*%#S!

GRIEF S*%#S!

  Warning! Sad blog follows. Don’t want to ruin your day, but maybe you feel like I do… It’s a cold, grey day in LA. And it fits my morose mood. It’s not typical. Usually in LA, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping when I open my eyes and say, “My life […]
