Out of the Closet

March 27th, 2009

Spring has sprung, and that means it’s time for cleaning!!!

What does this have to do with theatre, writing, or self-discovery (as these are my “normal” themes)?

Consider: Who wants to work in a mess?

I don’t…

How can one create in the midst of disarray?

I can’t…

I can’t even start my day the right way if I don’t fix the bed. (There was a line in a movie recently about how it “sets the tone for the day”, and I firmly believe that.)

But sometimes, you have to go in “for the kill”, so to speak… Like the closets.

And that’s how I spent a good chunk of my morning, going through our bedroom closet, throwing out all the wire hangers and dry cleaning plastic… hanging clothes on the proper hangers…rearranging stuff.

Neurotic? Not really. I like to see what I’ve got to work with… What I could be wearing more often, but don’t because it’s not with the normal stuff I usually reach for .

I’m making space, much like I did by physically going away.

And now I’m getting ready to step out into the world… This is my way of making sure I do it right, and look the part.
