Rantings, mostly…

I thought to myself that it must be amazing to perform improvisation on MadTV — from an actor’s perspective at least. I also thought how difficult it must be when it hit me.

The point is improvisation requires effort not necessarily training and education although I’m sure it doesn’t hurt.

Last night as a fear exercise my oldest kid snatched the “stirring stick” out of our lit and roaring fireplace to stir it a bit because it needed it and — now get this — because it was not completely on fire.

My fearful little angel had ascended into this brave creature that we saw walking among us snatching fire from the belly of the beast to wave above her head in triumph as it sent chills down my spine.

The greatest moments in my life are based on the beauty and joy my children share as a child and the developments they make toward being an adult.

The point I’m trying to make I guess is that never again will I be afraid to accomplish something and if I am I will willingly admit that I need guidance and seek it on my own.

I’m off to see what sources of drama and improvisation they have in my area.
