Til Divorce Do Us Part - An off-broadway cabaret show based on one woman’s divorce story and her rediscovery of herself - it was the creative project that sprung from her own transformation. She was very inspirational. I worked on this in Joy Dewing’s office. More photos below…
Hi Friends! I’m thinking about you all and wondering how you are doing? As this quarantine continues for what feels like an eternity, I’m realizing now that I resisted this so hard in the beginning - the acceptance that the entire world hit a transformation stage at the same time and in high acceleration. I tried for weeks to convince myself that there would be a “going back to normal” a “reset to everyday life” and it wasn’t until I really accepted that there is no going back that I felt myself again. Once I had the courage to face that acceptance, I began to live, discover and dream within my own little confines - dream of what might be coming next. This new energy set me free.
I suppose I’m wondering where you are in this journey? Are you still resisting? It’s ok, if that’s what you need to get through this, but I urge you to let go when the time is right.
I was listening to one of my old favorites, Ani DiFranco, on my run the other day. One of her songs, Buildings & Bridges, popped on while I was running…these lyrics really struck me in a new way:
“Buildings and bridges
Are made to bend in the wind
To withstand the world
That's what it takes
All that steel and stone
Are no match for the air, my friend
What doesn't bend breaks
What doesn't bend breaks”
Our world is different - it’s changed. Transformation is sometimes slow and we don’t notice it. But, this time it was hard, fast and pretty brutal. It’s ok, though. We are going to be ok. Just bend, Friends! Just bend…
Sending you light and love on this grey Wednesday, Holly xo
