Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
Through hard work and Patti’s great love I have overcome much of this, though not all of it. I have days when my boundaries wobble, my darkness and the blues seem to beckon and I seek to medicate myself in whatever way I can. But on my best days, I can freely enjoy the slow passing of time, the tenderness that is in my life; I can feel the love I’m a part of surrounding me and flowing through me; I am near home and I am standing hand in hand with those I love, past and present, in the sun,
Born to Run
Bruce Springsteen
woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, when I didn’t know who I was—I was far away from home, haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I’d never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and footsteps upstairs, and all the sad sounds, and I looked at the cracked high ceiling and really didn’t know who I was for about fifteen strange seconds.
If I haven’t said it enough, seeking community is a core driving force for me. When you’re working on a series, you get that feeling—big time. During that time, other opportunities arose to segue into features or take an executive role at a network, but I always turned them down. I was comfortable where I was. I’m lucky in a million different ways, up to and including the fact that the group of creatives with whom I’ve long been associated has allowed me to enjoy both continuity and longevity. When a series ended, several of us would wind up working together on another project, which mitigated the sadness of seeing something we had put our hearts and souls into come to a close. In a lot of ways, it was like being a part of a traveling circus. We each did our own act while playing off of one another, juggling the same projects simultaneously. It was always a wonderful mix of new and exciting, familiar and comfortable.
