I am sitting in the last day of tech for My Children! My Africa! and I just realized: I forgot to write tech blogs. I do it every time and yet this weekend - it did not even occur to me. Not even a blip on the mental radar. I originally opened this post to write about a quote from my show and then it hit me.
What does it mean that I forgot? What does it say about my regular tech anxiety? Or about my adherence to patterns? Because, of course, it can't be as simple as "I forgot." Not for this lady.
The quote I wanted to include was from a monologue in the second act, when one of the characters is talking about the journeys he takes by reading. He describes the places his books take him and he says: "I can stand in the banks of those great rivers, look up at the majesty of all the mountains, whenever I want to. It is a journey I have made many times. Whenever my spirit was low and I sat alone in my room, I said to myself: Walk, Anela! Walk!"
Lately, when I need to remind myself to keep going I take a deep breath and think, "Walk, Anela! Walk!"
