Finding the inner Chord of Truth.

I have recently become fascinated by blogs.  Here is mine.  I intend with this blog to show all truth I find in art.  Art is in books, stories, music, theater, poetry, TV, movies, anything.  Any art form. I am a performing artist in New York City, and all my life I have been obsessed with truth.  It has become clear to me in the past few years how all of my life I have valued truth.  I do not want a moment of my performance to be untruthful.  I went to school for music theater, and my voice teacher would constantly mention how I was different than most of his students.  I would hesitate to venture toward anything I found untruthful. 

What do I mean by truth?  There are several words for it.  Language serves as a tool of approximation for what something feels like.  When I am watching a play and there is a moment, however brief, that I feel touch a chord of truth inside me, I know definitively that that is a true moment.  It at once humbles, connects, and inspires me.  I feel connected to everyone else who is witnessing it with me, and pray that they feel the same.  I strive with my life, with my art, with my performance to never stray too far from that.

My mission: To rub away the bullshit, and get to the heart of truth and light inside me.  It is inside all of us.  Christians call it The Holy Ghost.  It is the spirit of God inside, that binds us all.  We all have it.  It is the spark of divinity.  Truth = God = Light = Soul.  I am not a strict Christian.  I think "God" is just another term for this thing we all possess.  We are all human, therefore we are all blessed with it.  I hereby vow to heed its call.

I will candidly post my thoughts and reactions to all aspects of life as an actor and artist in NYC.  I will keep it mostly anonymous, as the names and people are irrelevant.  It is all part of my personal quest for truth.

Thanks for joining me.  Let's let the light shine.

Tomorrow, I start Bikram Yoga.  Let's see what that brings.
