what is process when we are 58?

thinking of process.
thinking of making art.
thinking of the artist and where that artist sits in the middle of their own life.

i saw Boiling Point last night, a young threesome of choreographers. they moved powerfully, and they walked up a wall, many times
they defied gravity
how do we as artists
defy gravity
those objects, people, ideas, beliefs that pull us to the floor?

as senior (?) surely not
artists (not you two, but me, yes, i am in that category. you both are still in mid career...that sounds a whole lot better)

i wish to do something:
ok
i will say it
i want (and have always wanted)
to work with nurturing people
and i do
i have a wonderful collaborator
i have wonderful students
and wonderful young artists with whom i work on a semi regular basis (depending on their writing motivation)

i do have what i have dreamed of.

and i want to say this: i did not realize that i had it.
i have always wanted 'a company': but how does one do that if one is not living in the eastern part of Europe (where you can live well as an artist!

but in a wonderful weird way i do: they just aren't at the same place at the same time.
thats all.
and if we think of Quantum Physics. that is possible!

as i write this, i am eating blue cheese, poppyseed crackers, hot salami and a beautifully soft red wine.
my dog is sitting at my feet. he was run over yesterday. he survived. we always do. life's like that.
