Improvisation

  • Yes, and
  • Focus on your partner(s)
  • Commitment to the moment
  • Choices
  • Remember that you do not have to do it all yourself
  • Give gifts
  • Anger, fear, sadness, happiness
  • Play

These basic precepts of improv are applicable anywhere, indeed.

Bit

Spring in the garden,
Dusk falls and the night blooming jasmine bursts with fragrance.
Suddenly
I want to check on the newly planted blooms and my new friends.
All is thriving in the warmth of this new season.
I watch the jays taunt in evening song and cacophany
The cats nonplussed and disinterested.
A star, or is it a planet, becomes visible as the evening sky darkens
Brightening in reflections of other stars, oh so far away.
The light continues to fade.
Noctural pests begin their scavenging
I am bit.
