\"\"<\/a>………In the six degrees of whatever separation there is in the cycle and circle of our lives-now more than ever we feel the affects.\u00a0I have never not known the power of circumstance.\u00a0 I confess, there have been times I have sought out whatever cause would invite the most affect.\u00a0 Not that the results have always been super rewarding or renewing-but indeedy,\u00a0affects were noted and imprinted.\u00a0 \u00a0Now as I am older, I don’t\u00a0address the unknown as much.\u00a0FOR fear of the unknown.\u00a0 I used to love the whatif’s and the whynots, but\u00a0now I seem to have too much responsibility to consider a what if-because the end result could be too damaging. I morn the\u00a0loss of the younger me sometimes-who only had a\u00a0great desire to learn, create, work and feed a cat.\u00a0 At times, I could\/would dabble in the unexpected-and I would\u00a0be the only one paying the consequences.\u00a0Things are different now. I miss the excitement in the unexpected I used to\u00a0find-or rather-the unexpected that would find me.\u00a0 Now \u00a0there are too many things I am not doing as a result of not wanting to\u00a0consider the unexpected.\u00a0 I used to crave the unexaimed-and now-sometimes, I leave the rock unturned.\u00a0 I miss that me.\u00a0\u00a0 That certain lack of responsibilty.\u00a0I miss wanting to know ,being in pursuit, being able to\u00a0find out-despite the\u00a0answer.\u00a0 I do know- the greatest affect anyone has ever had on me had little to do with\u00a0what I expected-I can’t remember flirting-or\u00a0having a crush.\u00a0\u00a0A flutter crush. \u00a0The cycles and circles of my life have been started and completed by those who have left an imprint-however long-however brief.\u00a0 Forgive the star analogies.\u00a0 I am in rehearsals for a play that is consuming me-the more I read it the more I see the everyday language-the cause and effect.\u00a0\u00a0 I am being affected by a neighboring star.\u00a0 AND I know it.\u00a0 It is powerful to be surrounded by energy that is both brilliant and adolescent at the same time. For years, I have had to learn and relearn the ability to accept the vulnerable moments. It is something I find so offsetting and raw and\u00a0would\u00a0much rather dismiss the issue.\u00a0 It has been a hard lesson for me to learn-especially as it applies to my work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I don’t know how you navigate life without feeling the affects of someone else-without wanting to know more-without feeling a little lost, uncomfortable,scatted and fluttered.\u00a0 I can’t imagine anything else.<\/p>\n
