"The year of the Magical Thinking"

You've done it or you will do it, it will happen to you, I love that line from the play it so true. Monday I went to see Vanessa Redgrave in a benefit performance of the ' The year of the Magical Thinking" for UNICEF.
Vanessa played Joan Didion in the play. The play was about the thoughts that ran through Joan's mind and the things she did or did not do they year her husband died and her daughter was ill.

The audience was mesmerized by the play and by the laughter coming from the audience I could tell most have done some magical thinking of their own and could relate to Joan, i such could.

When someone close to us die before finally accepting that they are gone, so many thoughts go through our head, we wonder like Joan Did if we could have prevented the death, if the person knew they were dying, if they were at a different location would they still be alive.. So many thoughts.. At the end of the play I was glad Joan made it and finally was able to write about it. She is a great writer. Hopefully Vanessa will get there as well.
