My Facebook status from this morning: "Fact -- My body revolts against rehearsals w/ flareups of numbness, tinglings, and jolts the day after; and this after but only mere rehearsals. What may come from full performances, I ask. I say, "Bring it on!" in my best efforted British dialect of your choosing..."
The truth? It sucks. It really, really is a chore to get going the morning after rehearsal. And last night was a very, very easy, mild rehearsal. Today, what is numb and tingling? Left hand -- little finger, ring finger, middle finger to the palm to the elbow. Right hand, heel of palm. Right knee, bottom of right foot. Back of left calf and top of left foot. Right cheek/jaw. And the low back is angry.
What is going to happen when I put my 114% in to the performances, night after night? I really want to audition for the next show, "Screwtape", but I am having great difficulty in mustering up any sort of enthusiasm to endure another show, back to back.
This is my thorn, for it has not slain me, just given me inconvenience. Who in sacred Judaeo-Christian writ ever lived a total tip-toe-through-the-tulips life of complete bliss? And yet, their faith in YHWH never failed. Even though my flesh so desires to be done and gone, the spirit within plods forward.
So yeah, the body hurts something crazy and friends probably just over time eventually tune me out, I know full well that the Triune God will never leave me.
