Weaver Update & Come From Away

 Weaver is doing ok. She’s suffering from fatigue which, for a person in her situation , is normal but terribly debilitating to say the least. 

She waves a hand from North Yorkshire

 Come From Away is a musical everyone can identify with because it just about ordinary people caught up in something bigger than their lives have ever experienced before. For those few that don’t know, it centres upon the subsequent efforts by the 6 thousand strong local Canadians to process, feed, clothe and support several thousand people ( and animals) from all around the world who had been grounded in Gander , Newfoundland after the 9/11 bombings. 

Wisely, the ensemble cast centre itself on half a dozen people from the planes A gay couple from Los Angeles, a stiff Brit who falls for a gentle American Texan woman, the first female American Airlines pilot, an AfroAmerican woman waiting to hear about her son, a fireman in New York City all have their lives changed by the kindness of strangers and it these true life kindnesses that make the audience cry again and again because we all know that they are real and live within each one of us  

At the end, as in every performance nationwide, the audience stood as one and cheered.

They were cheering not only for the experience of an uplifting and likeable musical 

But for the fact, that all people, all of us,  have the capacity for unselfish, altruistic kindness 

And that’s a blessing.

I went to supervision this morning which was useful as we discussed transference and counter transference  relating to my client 

I bought itsu broth, noodles and vegetables for support and a punnet of grapes for lunch.
