Step into the Light
I’ll admit
Today was hard.
But, there was:
Snuggling with your puppy and
Going for a walk without needing a jacket
Eating leftover ham and pineapple pizza
Feeling valued by your boss
Chatting with your sister
And watching the musical television show
Where one of the supporting characters
Sings about stepping into her light
Step into your light.

Old Friend
The joy of catching up
With an old friend
And how their voice
And their laugh
And their stories
Brings you back
To another time
And makes you
Smile.

Iolanthe
How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Join a chorus and practice practice practice
And with a dainty string of lights
Upon your head
Become a fairy who declares
We must dance and
We must sing...
Oh yes, we must!
What a joy to be on stage again
What a joy to sing in the choir
(After all, happiness truly is...)
What a joy to play dress-ups
What a joy to be a fairy
We should all become fairies
And trip the light fantastic
And fall in love with music
And dance upon the wicked stage
And sing with all our collective might
And delight
In our existence.

Hot Chocolate
The delight of sitting in a cafe
And working uninterrupted
For a whole hour.

Fairy Lights
The singing fairies
Shall wear
Wreaths of light
In their hair!

The Start of Something New
I’m excited and sad
(To paraphrase Stephen Sondheim)
Moving back to New York
Finding a lovely sublet
Walking distance to the park and pool
Walking distance to the subway
Musical theatre flatmates
Twenty minutes into Manhattan
Everyone says the food is amazing
Coffee shops galore
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
Here we go.

The New York Public Library
It is cold and
Pouring rain outside but I am
In the warm bubble of the
Library
And for an hour or two
The outside world
Exists only on paper.

Gyoza and Light
After it has been a long hard slog
And you’ve been feeling so defeated and sad
Something shifts and there is
Light at the end of the tunnel.
Gyoza, good friends, and soup dumplings also help.

Tiler & Carol
The feeling when you learn when Tiler Peck is going to be in your show next week.
The feeling when you’re watching The Carol Burnett 90th birthday special and it takes you to another world with shiny stars and witty quips and gorgeous dresses and comedic performances of the highest level.
The lands of dance and play and story-telling and art
And fabulous women.

Ted's Talk
You are in one of the most beautiful homes
You’ve ever been in
With a panoramic view of
The East River and Queens
(And the red and white stacks
Of the power station
That remind you of Sloan)
You’re watching an interview with Christine Ebersole
Conducted by Ted Sperling and
You feel oh so lucky
And thankful
To be in the room.
