It’s a lot about getting salads for people and being treated condescendingly. — a friend recently describing a bad theatre internship experience

I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that’s what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it. — Joan Didion, in a 1975 commencement address at the University of California, Riverside.

Balls to the wall. I saw this thing tonight. (http://www.chocolatefactorytheater.org/e_danielfish.html)  It is one of the favorite things I have ever seen. I spent 3 hours and 40 minutes in a room with people and tennis balls and now I feel like I’m suffering this remarkable affliction of gratitude. This was an “extended performance.” It normally clocks in at 2.5 hours. I could have stayed for even more. Give me excess of it. I began to feel as if this were actually the only way I ever wanted to learn about the world from this point forward, in this strange white room with people speaking at this fevered, anxious pace. He does this thing with in-ear devices. It’s like mask work — you always feel like masks will obscure the person but what actually happens is that it makes a person more naked. And these devices take a moment of getting used to but once your ears adjust it’s like you’re seeing through it, or rather, hearing through it, and there’s this elegant purity in the way it allows you to experience the text. It’s sold out tomorrow, but you should go and get yourself on the waitlist.

A photograph must have room in it for entrance by outsiders, so that the photographer himself or herself hasn’t built a structure that keeps you out, but instead has left some crack that allows you the freedom to enter. He or she hasn’t held on too tightly. I heard a quote from Peter Mathiessen, who said that when you climb a mountain the first rule is ‘Don’t cling.’ You have to climb a mountain free, as if you’re just taking a walk on the beach. And I think if a photograph is made by a photographer who is trying to give you a message, you get that message but you don’t have a real experience.—Joel Meyerowitz
