Words Create Rituals
When the only way I connect to what happens on stage is by standing offstage eavesdropping, a passive onlooker to what is unfolding, then it's time to invent a role—and the mystical belief in the strength of the role.
Who has not promised to defeat, hold at bay, or alter a story by performing a ritual?
Wear a special hat, carry a good luck charm, don't step on cracks, repeat a mantra, and recite a psalm.
It's hard to be impotent.
It's hard to wait for what trickles into your vein to obliterate the cancer.
My words, my prayers, my rituals—all for you.
