Missing in Action
Yes it is true the Resource Girl took a respite for approximately the last five months. However, I want to assure you that come June the 1st, I will be back in action.
New York City is one of the most alive places in the summer. I don’t think there is any other place in the world where you can visit so many events for free. The streets and parks begin to vibrate with outdoor concerts, art shows and street fairs. One of my favorite things I ever saw was at the Fringe Festival, there were iceskaters in a small park when the degrees outside was more than 80 degrees. They placed these plastic pieces that had a frozen liquid substance on top and they iceskated. The theatrical piece in itself was forgetable but not the fact they were iceskating in the thick of the summer.
As mentioned before, for the past 5 almost 6 months, I have lived in LIMBO. No, not Dumbo, that is an actual place to live, LIMBO is a state of being where there is no past and no future. No I am not being pessimistic or dramatic. For me LIMBO LAND has consisted of seeing what is in front of me without looking at my watch or at my calender. I have always prided myself in having goals and a calender that reflects those goals. Currently my calender has the weekend taken care of, I am going to the Book Expo, and after that, well, I want to work my arse off, but other than that…
In these strange moments of LIMBO I am tasting my food more, I am noticing people’s expressions more, I really am living more in the moment. If I were to return to acting, yes, sometimes it does enter my mind, I think this time will be really helpful in that artform or in any other art form. Present in the moment, living fully in the moment, thanking God or the Universe for that moment, without regret for the past mistakes or anxiety for the future.
In June I will be posting free activities so that we can all manage in some way to enjoy our life, even in an economic crisis. I look forward to celebrating life with all of you this summer.
All the best,
RG
