WE ALL FALL DOWN

One by one, the texts come in: Sherri, Lorena, Lauren, Mandy’s sons – all felled by variations of the plague. Can’t even THINK about rehearsal till we can get out of bed!

Ah, but one remains standing; after endless weeks of illness delirium, Jonathan is raring to go, and his creative juices are flowing! Wish we could watch him:

Composing and singing original music with Garage Band
Writing his children’s stories
Choreographing the next phrase of movement for his solo – in his basement, no less

Jonathan’s current context as primary caregiver does not allow him the time to delve deeper into all of his creative outlets – very frustrating. The best he can do, though, is “listen to my muse in the moment.” Boy, does she have a lot to say!
