"Lonely Planet"


Last night I witnessed the production, "Lonely Planet" at The Weekend Theater. It washed over me and swept through all the hues of my emotional spectrum.

It was gripping.

I wanted to leave the theatre and not talk to anyone afterwards. I needed to be with my thoughts. I read through the play a few times with Jay, but seeing it live and hearing the dialogue, the monologues, the story and watching my dear friends Duane and Jay act so sincerely was just...

a spiritual experience.

I love the play and think that it is graceful, witty, heartfelt, and unique. I love live theatre and how it can change you in a matter of a few lines. "Lonely Planet" resonated with me on a number of levels and I am still processing the performance.

Thanks to Jay, Duane, Jamie, all those involved with the production, and to Mr. Dietz for writing a commanding play that pays tribute to lives lost and a friendship that can endure these tragedies.

Much love to all of you,
Dustin

The Unbroken Thread

Happy Christmas. It is upon us in this hour, this time, this day... after all the fuss, the frenetic pace, it smiles as it does each year finding us in some of the same places and in some different phases. I always flip through the rolodex of my life on this day, remembering the last 30 Christmases (well I guess I don't remember the first few that well) like they are all connected in one amazing thread charting my successes, my growth, my defeats, my darkness, and my light. Technically Christmas has not really begun. I have not done the ritual of heading to my Mom's and opening gifts and waltzing to see our Christmas film, but I have already been touched by Christmas. I write a lot, in this land of musings I have shared 257 writings with you, my friend, my reader spirits. Much has happened in these past two years, but let me simply write that I was not sure that I would ever enjoy Christmas again, ever really feel connected to it, no matter what I tried to do, I felt adrift ...

Loving the Squiggly

I was typing the other day and instead of hitting the ! key I hit the ~ key. Two odd altercations happened between two friends and me via facebook so I have deactivated my account for a bit. It was hurtful and unexpected. So when I hit the ~ key it made me smile and forget all that nonsense. ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dustin

Holding the Key

Only I am solid ground. Those whom I love - the new, the familiar - can be my circle, my connections... but the connection to self is the key I have been missing. Peace fills me as I hold the key and begin to unlock the doors of my life. Only I am solid ground and I embrace the beauty of me. Dustin
