AWAKE AND SING
by Clifford Odets was directed by Eric Thibodeaux-Thompson and performed April 5-7 & 11-13, 2013
Synopsis – from A Noise Within Study Guide: "The Berger family apartment in the Bronx houses three generations in the same working-class Jewish family. It is in this apartment that Bessie Berger, indomitable matriarch, oversees the lefist leanings of her father Jacob, and attempts to influence the romantic yearnings of her son (Ralph) and potential matches for her daughter (Hennie). When the seemingly inescapable poverty of the Great Depression forces Bessie to rent out a room in the apartment to petty bookie and World War I veteran Moe Axelrod, she encounters a new challenge as he positions himself as suitor to young Hennie. Hennie has her own ideas for love — ideas which, when pursued, lead to serious consequences.
Bessie attempts to protect her family from high hopes and fruitless idealism, grounding her perceptions of reality in the cold truth of struggle. However, the Berger family has a will of its own and does not always support Bessie’s iron-fisted policies, as those who seek to provide a sense of freedom and hope for Ralph and Hennie enact their own redemptive yet heartbreaking plans."

You know that feeling sometimes, when you're drifting off to sleep...when you're right on the edge of lucidity...that moment when you start to feel the weight of your body disappear as you gently fall and let go? Well I had that sensation the other morning, as I was waking up!! I felt euphoric and free, and I was lucid enough to "feel" the sensation of "Falling Awake"! It was the most bizarre experience. I felt completely at peace, my body and mind were floating in the air. I had this feeling that life is so beautiful, and I am so blessed. I felt grateful and full of love. I smiled, with my soul.
I am practicing smiling with my soul, for a few minutes each day. Perhaps in sharing this experience, I will plant a seed that you will try doing so too. "Let It Be", see the beauty of life, have gratitude and "fall awake" every day!
This shot, is untouched as with most of my shots. It is our Don Juan Rose which is leggy and thorny by nature, but the blooms are just the Mack Daddy! Hmmm, Ying and Yang...coincidence??? I think NOT!
