In acting, an understudy is someone who learns another’s role so they can act as a replacement on short notice. Should the regular actor or actress be unable to appear on stage because of illness, injury, emergencies or death, the understudy takes over the part.

Life is the Master Teacher and to truly get a sense of what life is all about, are we not always... Continue Reading

Through many pivots of life as we know it, as penned in history, as in a constant flow towards the future, what we believe to be a permanent fixture, is impermanence. Where we go from here to there has infinite paths from which we can choose to follow. Blindly stumbling along with beliefs and perceptions etched into the surface of the face of the mirror image, invaluable nuggets, and the beckoning call for eyes to be wide open are kept hidden behind the Shakespearean masks.
