Easternness

I've always had an interest in Eastern Religions... zen... being in the moment... meditation... relaxation... simplicity...

When I started doing improv, I gave a lot of that up because I needed more and more time for rehearsals.

Now, improv has lead me right back to where I began.

I've realized that improv is the ultimate in being in the moment. There is no time to fret about past "mistakes" you may have made.... there is no time to plan future moves like a game of chess.... all you can do is react.... like a quick flick of the wrists in ping-pong...
