HAIR has been tearing the walls down in DC for almost 3 weeks now. It has been a beautiful, exhausting experience.
I am stunned at how quickly these weeks seem to have passed. Our perception of time is a complicated thing, isn't it? We're barely getting to know the city, but will be leaving it in a matter of days.
Over these past few weeks in the Capital I've met myself outside of myself in various moments: walking up the steps to the Kennedy Center, crossing the bridge into Georgetown, shopping at the Dupont Circle Farmer's Market, staring at an Excel spreadsheet to find the error. I have seen myself in these moments as a calm, intelligent, creative person. I've also met myself in these moments: angry with my boss, annoyed with my co-workers, frustrated with my husband. I've seen myself in these moments as a short-tempered, angry, defensive person.
We must never forget that everything in the world is in each one of us: the capacity for enormous love, the capacity for violence. We must always remember that the best thing we can do is to choose love.
LOVE.
