Subtexting

The secret to diagnosing a problem with a broken scene lies in its subtext.*
Robert McKee

Being more vulnerable, we reach out, we extend our hands and your hearts to others who are wounded. It is only at such a pass that we grow into a larger sense of what life is about and act, therefore, out of a deeper and nobler nature.**
Jean Houston

I was never get to where I wanted to be with
what lay beneath the surface –
I had to face the the beliefs and truths I held within myself –
But life and god are good,
And this has always been more of an adventure than punishment –
I say “has” because it continues,
Always open and searching,
Finding confederates along the way.
