Mortality
Tonight I had my first acting class at CAP, www.completeactorsplace.com, and it was fun. There was a scene that was done where one of the characters told the other character that he was dying. I came home and read an email that my friend’s mentor just died. It made me think about what is important to me in life.
The scene brought up a conversation in class about mortality and what death looks like. Lonny Stevens, our director, posed questions about it to the class, “When someone tells you they’re dying, do you see death? Can you see what dying looks like in a person, and can you see that they’re dying when you look at them after they tell you that?”
I remember when I saw my Uncle after I hadn’t seen him in a number of years and something looked wrong. Within a year he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and went very fast. There have been some other people that I’ve known that have come down with cancer and again something didn’t look right to me and then they were diagnosed.
It’s an energy thing. Caroline Myss, www.myss.com, writes about alternative healing. She reads people’s energy and can give medical diagnoses. What seems to be prevalent in the people I’ve known who have gotten very sick is that they seem to be grieving something very deeply in their lives. They’re upset on a core level.
Most grieving that I’ve experienced and heard about from people is over a loss of love, a lack of love, not being loved and feeling unlovable. In my opinion, the thing that creates sadness is staying away from love out of fear that love will be lost, ruined, or betrayed. That kind of fear can create some very interesting behavior.
Love is something that seems like it should be natural for me. I like to love deeply in my heart. It feels better when I live that way. I don’t know what created pain here on Earth. I know there are stories and beliefs about creation, the fall of man, and other things. There are a lot of stories being lived out in humanity.
The next time I see someone who has that look like something is wrong, I’m going to see if I can sit down with them and talk about what’s going on. A very smart doctor once told me that sometimes you just have to give someone a chance. Then they can find some glimmer of hope inside of themselves to try something else and get better.
