Shakespear had it right didn't he!




THE ACT

 

The curtain parts.
The lights go up.
The night's fantasy ceases.
I applaud my luck

To be here awaiting
Another day's scene.
Hopefully
It will be
Enjoyable.


I am the audience
That claps in
Anticipation.

Begin the day in positive anticipation—it says a lot about you as a human-being, positivity doesn't come to everyone.

A great analogy, Allen.

I might need to mindfully observe reality way more than I do. This is an excellent reminder. Thank you.
