You did a great job describing what it's like to meet them. What a treat! I feel for you on the "aftermath" part. It's just one of those things. But! Here's part of a poem, written by a famous actor, to prove that - most actors, anyway - experience that feeling themselves. After performances that mean a lot to them, they are also kinda caught just wondering whether we really got what they were trying to say... it's a two-way street that you walk down and past... and you are far from alone! :) *hugs* we've left shore somehow become the friends of early theory close enough to speak desire and pain of absence of mistakes we'd make given the chance.
each simple returned makes harder avoiding dreams that see us lying in early evening curtain shadows, skin safe against skin. bloom of compassion respect for moments eyes lock turns forever into one more veil that falls away
Thanks for sharing that story. I was right there with you.
