When it comes, it comes slowly as though emerging out of the unformed and taking shape in front of you. It is something you can take into the hand, mould and shape into something new that has the power of its own existence.
The world exists in these mists and shadows and we all step forward into that unknown to try to make these shapes into something tangible, into something real. We build our worlds around ourselves like a stage set and populate them with the actors in our lives.
We are on the stage and in the audience at the same time, each of us, each playing the lead role in our lives, or if we are not the lead role in our own lives we end up becoming the bit players in other people’s plays, sometimes nothing more than a walk on part, even just a face in the crowd, somewhere at the back where the scenery almost hides us.
We need to step forward out of that crowd of extras and become the lead actor in the play of our own lives, no-one else can do it for us and this is the only chance we will ever get to land such a role.
