" Simple

 can be harder

 than complex. "

                   Steve Jobs

 "If you ever find yourself 
in the wrong story, 
leave."

"The two of them were 

very proud of that scene 

when it was done 

because it seemed 

simpler than it was. "

                        Director

During Holiday Seasons

there is a lot of work,

expectations, and pressure

in the air.

Routines

are disrupted;

And some of us

rely on our routines

to regulate our days.

We may be separated

from companions,

or worse:

our companion animals!

When I get tense

It's does me good 

to remember

that I am director

of my own movie.

Call a five minute break.

Assess the scene.

Sometimes, it's what

DOESN'T occur

that makes the piece!

[so it comes off simpler

than it is]

Don't play someone else's

role they've created for you.

Just tell yourself:

"CUT."

Then play it your way,

or not at all.

If voices be raised,

yours need not

be one of them.

Remember:

You are the Star

of your own movie!

Thank You

for your appearance

here!
