The other day during a tech rehearsal for A Dream Play, this song was being sung:
And a strange, but remarkable, thing happened. While they were singing, I could see the actors, who are becoming like family, as whole, and beautifully flawed, human beings.
I could see past struggles, and the beauty inherent in that, and humanness.
I don't think we see that often. And I wonder if it is because we are moving too fast, and not really seeing people - instead we witness them as their functions, or let an initial judgment color everything, or we see them as they were, or as their adjectives. Not as complete beings.
Our eyes are clouded, dusty. And it's in the moments when they clear that we truly see. Those moments stick, and become important, even if they emerge out of the most mundane.
I am trying to see in a clearer way. In a more open, and honest, way.
A way that shows truths of humans. One of which I knew intellectually, but didn't see, didn't know in my heart, until yesterday, where, in and for an instant, my eyes were clear.
We are flawed. But beautifully so.
