Writing from the heart this morning. Just letting it go.
Seeing what my inner most self is trying to tell me. Exploring where my soul is
taking me today. Going with the flow and let it come through my fingertips.
It’s Saturday morning, very early but I’m up and bright and bushy tailed because I have a long day ahead of me. My daughter’s first day of
doing two shows for the Pantomime so I want to be there with her to let her
know I am supporting her. It’s amazing to watch the confidence growing
for all the children in the Pantomime this year.
They have moved from not knowing what to do. Not sure about
what makeup they have to wear to applying it themselves. Taking charge of their
own destiny. Getting themselves ready so when their cue comes they are up on
stage. It’s wonderful to see them maturing and accepting responsibility for
their roles. What's even more amazing is they range in age from 9 – 12. All from
different backgrounds and schools but they have forged a camaraderie amongst
themselves.
I am so proud of them. It’s not easy going on stage every
night and becoming a character in front of a live audience but they have risen
to the challenge. I never knew how much work went on behind the scenes to make
sure everyone is ready and is costume. This is a first for me as well and I have
forged friendships with people I would not have otherwise either. Telling me
that every once in a while it is good for us to step out of our comfort zones.
Do something different. Be amongst new people, new experiences. Stretch our
boundaries. Because when we do, we see just how versatile and adaptable we really are.
I know this experience has done that for me. And I know it has broaden the horizons
of my nine year old daughter.
It also lets me see, as it has my daughter, that at the base of it all we are all the same.
Regardless of where we come from. Regardless of what we look like. Regardless of
what we do on a daily basis. When everyone is scurrying around the dressing room
area, no one knows where we came from or who we were before we walked through
the door but once we are there we become the Pantomime family working together
to put on the best production we can. No hierarchy. No questions asked. Just getting
on with each other and striving toward our common goal of having a great show.
And so far so good.
What a great experience for my daughter, for me and for
everyone involved. An experience well worth having and one that will teach my
daughter and myself lessons forever. That at the base of it all we are all the
same. Spirits in human form of the One-Source seeking to love and to be loved.
