Soul in Motion: Artist Spotlight
With an easy smile the Dreamer found me in the crowd and handed me his three-word prophecy. I am FEARLESS. I watched him flirt through the crowd, palming his little paper prophecies to his fellow sojourners with an impish wink. Throughout EN BUSCA/IN PURSUIT, the Dreamer, played by Fernando Moya Delgado, asks audiences what our dream is, while at once inviting us on his journey in pursuit of his own dream. Through poetic monologues and intricately articulated movement, the Dreamer paints a stunning picture that fills an audience of artists with renewed determination to chase their dreams.

A Tale of Two Unconventional Love Stories
Unconventional is defined as, “not based on or conforming to what is generally done or believed.” The Hand Maids Tale, an adapted TV series, is a masterpiece that mixes horror, unity in the face of oppression, and unconditional love. The premise is unfathomable for any woman (or man who truly cares about women for that matter) with its audacious concept of women being nothing but incubators and servants to men. The fictionalized world of Gilead forces the viewer to think, “what if?” and places them squarely in the characters shoes.

The overthinking soldier
“4-0-0-9”, “4-0-0-9” “Oh, that’s me”, Briana said as she snaps into a range walk into the distant room. “Verify your Last name, date of birth and last 4” Said the Military medic. “Usufruilau, July 29, 1990, 4-0-0-9.”

Dating Online for Seniors, What You Haven't Heard
I dislike the term "seniors" I prefer older. I mean when you were young didn't you want to be with the older kids? But the world uses this as a way to describe older or elderly people. I may flip back and forth between the two.

Rediscovering the Magic from Your Childhood Favorites
We all know how hard it is to still enjoy the stories we loved as children. I had a literature professor back when I was an undergrad who delighted in ruining everyone's favorite fairy tales by telling us how they were originally written. Time has a sticky way of changing the way we see and experience media.

How to keep your Faith
An interesting part about living in the United States is that the separation of church and state makes it easy for people to practice their religious beliefs. I probably shouldn't use the word "easy," what I mean is that the foundation of America was built on the idea of religious freedom. Quakers seeking religious freedom from Catholic rule in Great Britain. However, because we have this separation of church and state, the topic of religion becomes slightly taboo to talk about. We have a government where our officials may follow a set of religious beliefs, but that religion is not how laws and regulations are made. (I'm sure some politicians have found a way to work around this, but that is beyond my comprehension of genius.)

The Night Of
I think one of the most devastating aspects of all human existence is not that in which we are lost, but that in which we are found.

Yearview Mirror (2020)
In a year when so much of our misery was a shared experience, it would be much easier to think about all we have lost this year when approaching an end of the year letter. Personally, I think we have suffered enough. I have suffered enough. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of this year, I want to focus on five unexpected gifts this year gave me. After reading my list, I want to challenge you to do the same.
