On This Tragic Occasion...
joey:
I have never posted before, but as a close friend to southend.md I have met a number of you, and feel strongly that this occasion must be acknowledged. In trying to understand what Heath Ledger's death and life can mean, I have reflected on his strengths as an actor: the ability to "put on his character like a coat" (to quote Michael Chekov) - and to do that with a magical ability to show us both the color and line of the coat and his own being under it. I usually think of dancers as those who reveal themselves most in performance. But this paradox of Heath's - to be so revealing and yet so completely in character - is part of what made him so mesmerizing to me. His authenticity is the gift I treasure most.

I heard from Meryl earlier this afternoon, who placed a card for BetterMost, and a picture of our journey to the Kananaskis Lakes this past summer, as a token of thought in front of his apartment in SoHo on behalf of all of us, at the impromptu shrine.
It's good to see so many familiar faces making their way back to our community over this tragic event. We are part of a big family here, and I hope that you will stick around and remain with us in the days and weeks ahead. We can get through this. Together, we can get through anything.
