Plays
A play is a lot like a movie - ish. But there are crucial differences. A movie pretends to be a recording of something that actually happened. In a play we accept the framing and gaps and unrealities of the production, because it's only a play. A movie is supposed to perfectly realistic.
A movie can be replayed over and over, exactly the same, hundreds of times. But a play is fleeting. Like life itself, it happens once; and no repetition is exact. Plays are intimate, human, private almost. You had to be there.

Particles
The world may seem like a million tiny particles, floating and bumping into each other, but it's more than that. The world may seem like a thousand rules, tiny points of matter obeying them, but it's not. The world is greater than the sum of its parts, and I am greater than the sum of my cells. I can do things they cannot do alone, not a billion of them not connected. I live, I dream, I make, I create, I write these words that you are reading now... Who says I am but a collection of matter? Bring them here, and I shall destroy them in a thousand highly imaginative and physically challenging ways.
Watch the world, watch everything. Never stop watching and never stop thinking. You are what you see,what you eat, what you hear and read and feel and taste and smell and - most importantly - what you think, you in yourself, about all these things that have and have not happened to you. That is the secret to life, and that is what you mean -
So far.
What will you mean tomorrow?
So far.
What will you mean tomorrow?
