This came to me after a meditation session. Stay Fierce fellow warriors.
Opening Nights and Curtain Calls
This is not a dress rehearsal.
This is the real thing.
You’ve been preparing for this all your life,
Each moment is opening night.
If you stumble or forget a line.
There is a prompter in the wings,
If another player throws you an unexpected twist,
Step back, take a deep breath,
Adlib if you must, you have it in you.
Sing, dance recite.
Fill up the stage.
Bring the audience along on this journey.
Connecting through the tears and laughter.
For this brief, fragile moment, you are all one being,
Each soul touched and touching.
And when the final curtain falls,
Expect applause, and curtain calls,
And flowers.
