Being who we are, doing what is ours to do when where and how it needs to be done is our gift to the world. And we do not think any of this into being. We live our way into being who we are. Not by thinking about it but simply by doing it. We watch ourselves living by observing ourselves in action and not-knowing where some of our “stuff” comes from–the way stand-up comedians laugh at themselves when they spontaneously create lines they have never heard or thought of before. We have to learn to live that way. Spontaneously. Improvisationally. Every day is Life At The Improv, with us making things up that are so true to ourselves. Babies do this all of the time. Why do we stop? It is who we are and we stop being true to ourselves. Why? Let’s devote the rest of our life to being who we are here, now, no matter what! Deal?
