Every idea
each move made
each word written
every sentence read
2minutes 23seconds & 40years
culminate
into each of these.
This solid reading?
1minute 48seconds & 35years
That good self tape audition?
3minutes 12seconds & 46years
Nothing just happens,
but the hope is always
that something does happen
from all this commitment.

Despite knowing its results
amounting to nothing
I proceed with
squeezing the boil
it releases something…
“But I feel,
like these scribblings might stay.”

2024 Theatre Project Award –
“I am delighted to inform you that you have been awarded funding…”
Beyond excited
incredibly grateful
so thankful
it began with the novel;
I took Tadhg from it
a team then assembled
and we now OFFICIALLY
with the generosity from
@artscouncilireland
begin building our project!
With much thanks/love to everyone tagged! *Incredibly serendipitous and special to actually be in Ireland visiting everyone involved when this was granted*
#theatre #dunfanaghy #currach #TADHG #ireland🍀 Cork, Ireland
I laid my card to you
next to the pillow
your card to me
was there waiting
serendipitous
expressions of love
words of gratitude
beneath their envelopes
ready to be read to each other.

An Exudation as Such…
by Steven Ogg
I AM HERE
found my Drishti when I was young
just still in the process of its realization
I AM HERE
to work/collaborate
and play in the sandbox
I AM HERE
do not believe I am busy
anymore than I am not interested
I AM HERE
this is what I do
it’s what I love
THIS IS MY DRISHTI.
