It Just Is

“It ain’t why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why. It ain’t why. It just is.” -Van Morrison “Summertime In England”

Don’t get stuck asking “why” something happened. It wastes time and energy. It paralyzes us from taking action.

See what “is.” Identify what’s actually happened. With clarity. No judgment. Just willing acceptance.

When we do that, then we can make the change we seek to make. We can make our art.

P.S. – In the spirit of this week’s “Tell Them About It” post, do not miss The Public Theater’s stream of Richard Nelson’s What Do We Need To Talk About. It’s the first great play of the Zoom era and it’s fantastic. You can get it HERE. Only until May 3rd. (Thank you Mattie and Paul for “telling me about it.”)
