Revisiting Reverb10 in the midst of 2011...

 
May Prompt:

If you participated in Reverb 10 during December of last year, are any of the things you wanted to manifest in 2011 revealing themselves? - May Prompt, #reverb11

I read the Reverb prompt back when it first came out I kept telling myself "I will write it, I will get there, I would get to it"... and on and on and on.

Today I read through many of my Reverb10 blog posts and realized, wow, I have made boatloads of progress toward manifesting what I wanted to manifest. Things I had completely forgotten writing about kabong, they have happened!

Things like "meaningful curtain calls" ~ those are all I have had. Even in my current show, "Stage Door" for which I had zero expectations going in, I am getting kudos from audience members as they leave. Completely unexpected. Probably the best "curtain call" was a comment from my "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" director when he said three simple words to me after watching the closing night performance.

He said, "You destroyed me." Wild contentment.

I have also received wild applause after poetry performances. I continue to step onto the edge there and oh, how I love it.

I also wanted to manifest connections - again meaningful connections, not just another shallow sort of friend or two. I have done and will continue with this one. Shallowness has hit the road. The only relationships I want to continue are those of depth and richness. Those that continue to linger need to be due to mutuality.

I said I wanted to finish a book. Now, I have content for several books sitting, waiting to be organized. I could cause personal harm from all the weight I put on my shoulders over this but instead, I wrote a poem length book in one day called "Upper La Cresta Sojourn" along the lines of Bernadette Mayer's Mid Winter Day. I wrote it in March and because of this post, I am vowing to get the edits done by the end of May.

I did it and will do it.

I also wrote of Writing Camp and taking it on the road. I have done that and will continue to do that. I have also developed some one-on-one writing adventures which have been fabulous, which has reminded me to recommit to my creativity coaching practice. This year I have taught in schools and hospitals, too. Things are just clickety clacketing along.

I can't wait to discover what I have manifested yet. Stay tuned, beloved Reverb11 folks. Stay tuned!
