inside and out

Take all the things that make you feel good and wrap them up inside a warm blanket and hold that blanket tight. Never become so involved in the out of control things and lose who you are. Let me tell you what you are not: You are not your job; you are not the sister or brother, mother or father; you are not the good son or the bad daughter; you are now and have always been an individual who is and always has been free from these labels. If you think about it, you cannot play any of these role effectively without first always being an individual who embodies a meaning that is completely separate from any one role you can ever play beyond all words anyone can say to the contrary. Through you, you can become a better actor and have each role you play have real meaning within the context of any given situation. This is the birth of sincerity and compassion and these two things are best represented in all our transgressions that may even run contrary to our original idea. This is the comfort of our blankets inside and out.
