For everything, there is a season

Passion has been postponed. There. It's out there. Am I disappointed? You betcha. Am I down for the count? No way, Jose.

To my surprise, Passion is seasonal and therefore cannot be done during Easter season. Easter is the time for celebration and bringing Passion to Easter season is like getting a Valentine in March - bad timing.

I was fortunate enough to speak with my friend Alice today, who I never see enough of, and was able to tell her all the things I see for Passion - really fill her in on the vision. My cheeks are still flushed from the excitement of telling her and she was excited also. She wants to be a part of this, even if we have to wait to do it.

And there's still LOTS of work to be done, which is why the answer was, "not now." I do not expect my excitement to wane, or my vision to get clouded over. And now I have more time to speak to people like Alice and explain my concept. I have more time to get funding, to speak to groups, to find the best possible venue.

I am not a fan of failure or quitting. I don't think I have failed, in fact, similar to taking an exam, I've been given more time to succeed. And even if I did fail in getting it produced, I have failed forward. I sure thought about quitting, but how do you quit your artistic creations? It is simply not an option to quit this idea. It's too important both as a testament to my faith and as a timeless story to be told. I will even return to some ideas I had already discarded because I now have more time to make them come to fruition.

So now it's out there.
