Doing just the small snippets of Chess the other night really blew my mind. I think what overwhelmed me were the following things:
- This may be the lst time I am ever on a stage with the soon to be "professional" Coryalayne and what a blessing it has been to have such a wonderful woman in our presence for the time we have had her. I am somebody who has dealt with alot of separation from friends in my life, and I know she will be back someday, but it is still hard.
- How far I have come emotionally since I last sang Nobody's Side. I don't know if it is good or bad, but the words "Better learn to go it alone ...Recognize you're out on your own" cut through me like a knife. Somehow it was and OK thought for me last Spring. Not so much anymore.
- What a wonderful cast we had. I loked around and saw noting but people I have honest love and affection for, for one reason or another, every single one of them has impacted me.
- The risks and challenges that Chess had called me to surmount still have not been addressed. I suck.
- How much I wish I had cherished every single moment and how lucky I was to have them.
Things change. People change. I change. My body, my face, my heart, my mind....none of it is the same as it was last May. But the lessons and challenges and beauty of the Season of Chess live forever.
Someone....pass the volcano....quick!
