#Ritual is a kind of structure, one that takes from where you are to a new place, crossing over a line in some way to get there. Its purpose is to provoke change in yourself and/or in the #Audience. (p. 74)

If you are like me — and like most of the people I’ve worked with over the past decades — the only thing stopping you from accomplishing your work is the fear that it’s not going to be perfect. (p. 122) #Lichtenbergianism

This is the Playwrights’ Center, which first brought me out from NY to Minneapolis on a writing fellowship. It was where I taught, learned, developed work and had a great time for years. I’m so proud of them for holding the line on DEI, despite the risk. Donating some $$ right now!

I hope folks understand what’s happening here. Some in the administration view concentration camps inside the US as maybe a bridge too far. So they’re starting with Guantanamo Bay, away from prying eyes and 24/7 coverage.
