In the midst of life, it's so easy to forget this truth. But, then, I go to our shows,
and I remember. I watch our creativity in motion - puppetry and improvised

consciously aware in this moment, the vision you seek will always remain just beyond your grasp. Even when you're living right in the middle of it." (The true hell.)
