Good Men get lost in the dark

So.

A Few Good Men.

No adequate words for this experience, as always.
I will say that the cast is amazing. Some very talented actors.
And if not extremely talented, at least very interesting.
I'm very proud of this show, and my work in it.
It's a huge step for me.

Also, Life. That's been happening lately, too.
Lots of events and feelings and such.
As Life tends to have.

What are these darker parts of ourselves?
What lies in these crevices, dark caves, deep, murky pools of our being?
Lately, I've spent more time than I like rappelling down these crevices,
spelunking, and free-diving a little too far down.
What if, one day, I rappel too far down, explore too deep, or swim too far below the surface?
Will it be too far to climb back up?
Will it be too dark to find my way out (with every turn appearing the same as the last)?
Will I suffocate before I reach the surface?
All important questions.
I hope I never find the answers to them,
but I am afraid that someday, I will.
Then what? Is there any coming back?
In the darkness we find our vices,
the Dogs we pet and coo
as they sink their teeth deeper and deeper into our flesh,
with no intention of letting go.
And what can I say:
I love my Dogs.
