In the middle of the night a mysterious circus pulls into town.
Strange sights and sounds drift through the night air electrifying
our senses and begin to generate the seeds of potential. Out of
this thrilling moment we begin to define meaning, to become storytellers
of this strange and bawdy performance. We are writing the script
for the actors in this play.
Our performance continues here with an invitation to a momentary
suspension of disbelief. In this moment, this fleeting snippet of
time, true potential exists. This is the instant before we know
what happens next, that pregnant pause where anything is possible
– both terrible and wonderful. It is also the place where
we truly become part of the story because there is no separation
of the action in the play from our own experience of the world.
This sliver of time exists in connections in the unconscious, when
we do not recognize the difference between ourselves, and the tale
that is unweaving before us.
Our eyes focus now on the cast of characters from this strange circus.
These characters are waiting for our unconscious to take over and
make associations, and to forge meaning. The story is writing itself.
Who are they? What are their connections? How might they interact
with each other? With us? This group is waiting to be cast, waiting
for us to decide where they fit in the narrative. Above all else,
they symbolize the great potential of the story to be told in whatever
manner, through whatever means, and with whatever details the teller
or viewer wishes to tell the tale. Though some of these characters
have already begun playing their parts, others have yet to be written
into the plot. The yarn is still spinning. Who can say what meaning
will be reveled in its fabric of potential?
