A Passionate Life: May 1, 2012

I took part in a joint venture between the WCDR, or Writer's Community of Durham Region, and The Durham Theatre Festival tonight. The gig was called Words of the Season and it was a celebration of prose, poetry, song, and community.

I've been working hard at getting over my public speaking phobia and have been putting myself out there as much as I can to help conquer my fear. This seemed like the perfect venue: lots of artsy and writerly types, an open mike, and access to alcohol—it was held at a pub. Now I didn't drink anything, but I figured the more they drank the better I would sound. ;)

So I took the plunge and got up on stage and read a prose poem. And though my knees were knocking, I focused on my breathing (yoga comes in handy for so many things) and just let the words flow through me. I managed to get through the entire poem with some good inflection in my voice and some genuine eye contact with the audience who were not, in fact, naked.

Apart from my own personal drama there were about fifteen other presenters. Poems, works of fiction and nonfiction, dedications, and songs filled the pub. Everyone who was there was engaging in their passion, and they were there to share that passion with others.

There was a lot of love in the room!
In gratitude,

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.

We are not here to change other people. We are all on a journey in this life, working our way toward happiness and fulfillment. Some of us will reach a place of well-being sooner than others. For those that become mired in struggle and strife, the journey seems fraught with insurmountable challenges. It’s very hard watching loved ones suffer. But we cannot walk their journey for them. Each step they take, each thought they think, each word they speak, and each action they take are theirs and theirs alone.

We can guide them with authenticity, by becoming shining examples of someone following their own truths, engaging in the things that makes us truly happy. We can offer stories of our own personal journeys by describing the path we took to overcome obstacles. But we cannot force them down that road. Everyone must make their own choices.

Let them know you are there for them with a willing ear, a firm shoulder to lean on, and mountains of unconditional love. But they need to figure this out on their own.

In gratitude,

Marissa
