A Week of Beauty

I spent the week immersed in beauty.

I walked through the door of time and space to join 400 years of audiences that loved and hated and laughed and sorrowed with the characters of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.  

I was captured by the beauty and power of theater through Eugene O'Neill's gripping truth of the universal pain of isolation within a dysfunctional family in his play Long Day's Journey Into Night.

I was revived by the lush and vibrant color green and the sound of the river racing ever to renew even the lowest places.

My body is yet tired.  My mind, recovering.  But new life was breathed into my soul through the beauty of the entire experience of Ashland, Oregon as I joined 4 teachers and 21 students from our school. From start to finish, the moments left their mark on me and I am changed by the exposure to color, creativity, character, energy, and people. I am grateful.
