Thanks to Noah for bringing this to my attention. Many of us have had discussion regarding the slow and seeming methodical loss of human interaction and communication as technology relieves us of the responsibility. Of course, being relieved of it has resulted in the loss of it. Technology has it’s place in life, but not meant to replace life.

I want to thank Julie for sharing a poignant story that gave strong value to an app called: Mindfulness Bell. It can be downloaded on Android or iPhone.

It is free and can be of value to anyone who wants to have a moment every hour, few hours, or as you wish to reflect on a statement, feeling, development, or curiosity. A zen bell will sound on your phone to keep you mindful. Could be about the audition room, focus, integrity, intimacy, or any specific aspect of your work that you want to stay mindful of. Check it out. You can make the settings fit your personal circumstances. Look forward to your thoughts.

As we have said, in many ways, we are wanting to reclaim that which has been taken from us, driven inside us, or pushed away from us. It’s there, it available, if you can access it and not let others get in the way of it, or feel like they can prevent you from it. Auditions are for you, not for them. Please watch Henry Thomas audition for ET. I look forward to your thoughts.

The feelings and thoughts Mr. Doyle has used to illuminate this universal experience can be substituted by a myriad of other images from each and every one of us. Brian Doyle is an author of mostly children’s books. Go figure.

“When young we think there will come one person who will savor and sustain us always; when we are older we know this is the dream of a child, that all hearts finally are bruised and scarred, scored and torn, repaired by time and will, patched by force of character, yet fragile and rickety forevermore, no matter how ferocious the defense and how many bricks you bring to the wall. You can brick up your heart as stout and tight and hard and cold and impregnable as you possibly can and down it comes in an instant, felled by a woman’s second glance, a child’s apple breath, the shatter of glass in the road, the words ‘I have something to tell you,’ a cat with a broken spine dragging itself into the forest to die, the brush of your mother’s papery ancient hand in a thicket of your hair, the memory of your father’s voice early in the morning echoing from the kitchen where he is making pancakes for his children.” – Brian Doyle

The last posts of poetry have compelled another crew member to share a poem born from Constantine P. Cavafy, a Greek poet who lived in Alexandria and worked as a journalist and civil servant. Please read when you have a moment… and I don’t even like poetry… I thought.
