a way into the light

the play as vehicle

a play is a vehicle

within which we can enjoy the trip

and find ourselves at its end in a new place,

still the same people,

yet who through the journey have learned

to be truer to the potential of the self within,

when we cast a play,

we see amazing potential that aches to be released,

and we work each rehearsal to clear a path,

so that what can be, will be,

and the wholeness we see in the possible

reveals itself as a wholeness before us,

and each is seen and appreciated,

both as an individual light

and as a great beacon as all together flare,

nothing can be better for a teacher

than for the glory within each

to be released and to be seen,

for potential to find its way into the light,

and to be the light.
