In this lead up to Christmas, liturgically the season of Advent, waiting becomes even more affecting and thought-provoking. I am waiting for news of this, of that. Communication becomes complicated, especially when three or four parties are involved. Decisions are slowly reached until a consensus of all views is negotiated. As each revelation becomes a fixed arrangement, the process of waiting becomes dense and implicatory.
I am looking forward to presenting at the Sacred and Secular Symposium in January but am waiting to hear if I have been successful regarding the Missing Performance Symposium at a later date elsewhere. And then there may be the further waiting to see how each presentation is received...
My review of the extraordinary and very funny Peter Pan Goes Wrong has been published on the One Stop Arts site and quoted by the Pleasance Theatre but One Stop Arts itself is, as an online site, becoming defunct from January 2nd, 2014. So no more waiting there for review submissions to be uploaded...
It is like waiting for inspiration. As a creative writer, I value Jung's concept of the unconscious mind's ability, in self-regulatory mode, to work out the creative answers to most of life's problems. Don't be in a hurry, wait and see... It will all come out right in the end. Even if it doesn't - or does, but not as you expected - at least the element of surprise might be revelatory enough.
