It wasn\u2019t so much the crime that had landed me in prison. It was that I had decided to stop being me<\/em>.&#8221;\u00a0 Part of a powerful thread of stories from a neighborhood in Brooklyn that&#8217;s a hard place to get ahead. You may be following the miraculous story that is unfolding there starting with a young man, Vidal. It&#8217;s the greatest human story of the moment being broadcast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I spoke to a friend the other day<\/strong>, we hadn&#8217;t talked in so many years. As we shared where we&#8217;ve been, we met in the NYC when she came to see my apartment as I was looking for a housemate at the time, she&#8217;s now out west and I&#8217;m in Asheville, we both referenced looking back at our journals and seeing how we had referenced things that we had forgotten and how some were playing out. I read something from 2004. These were entries I wrote while doing a play in Woodstock. I was so happy and wrote about how free and creative I felt. How someone had seen the play and wanted me for other plays and that he&#8217;d help me get my equity card. I had forgotten about that. And THEN amidst the <strong>journaling,<\/strong> I wrote go to Mt Mitchell, in Asheville NC, highest point east of the Mississippi. Planted the seed. I did visit Mt Mitchell last year. I went because a friend recommended it. I had no idea that I had it on my bucket list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We are always creating<\/strong>. Always. Every thought, every word, every sensation. We are receiving and sending signals constantly. To have a place to write in that stream of consciousness way, with structure and support strengthens us at our core.
