Sunlight at Home
I Love Wednesdays because I get to act! The stage is really like a second Home for me. I get up on stage and my imagination soars. It’s mystical. It’s powerful. It feels like a mix of music, dance and literature up there ~a beautiful poetic mix. I feel like I’ve worked out in the GYM afterwards and only got up once this week.
I am working on a scene from a contemporary play set in Baltimore. My character is getting married for the 4th time. My older favored sister has shown up and well there‘s a lot of conflict to work through. The funny thing is they say all kinds of horrible things to one another but I am left saying these two really love one another. Isnt it amazing the love between siblings sisters can be eternal?~ from a place that does not ever end.
Before TV was so important we used to have the best musical s in our house. We would sing and play for hours and hours. In my mind’s eye I can sometimes see the window behind Dad’s chair and the way the light would come through there and remember hearing You & Julia singing with Jackie doing the percussion devotedly to Dog on Right . Do you think Pam Lee heard us and that’s why we got to be such close friends with her? I held on tightly to those inner visions for whenever I was afraid & I built on them for the times when Amy, Tony & Abby were scared of the dark.
I owe my creative life and what is Home for me to my family~ to each of you.
May Thanksgiving shine that grateful golden light your way so you know you are loved & valued and well~ Cherished.

I've been remembering the dance times with You and Amy and I to "You are My Friend". Fights and love are a huge part of people being so closely aligned with one another. I am sure Pammy probably heard both the thunder and the pleasantries. It was so nice of her to become friends with us. I do hope that your acting practice doesn't make you despise your real elder sister for the similarities to our real relationship like that. It is true that we sometimes dig up old conflicts that are better left forgotten; although you may find it cathartic. :) I hope you don't hit the girl.LOL Do well!
You have the knack to crack me right up! No, Jayne I have always been your biggest fan! I have always been in awe of your intelligence your bravery and your strength I kinda understood all the other stuff as the price of doing business at that time~ So all is really forgiven and worth all the heartache now! Especially when I see your beautiful family I am grateful to God!
