I've been thinking a lot about what makes people shine. I'm not sure that I understand it. I know that it exists. Some people shine out even in the quietest of places, something deep in their centre, the themness of them. Some people have luminescence.
Taylor Mac is all sparkle and shine. Go watch this video, and you'll see what I mean (very much NSFW, so be warned!).
But a sparkle can turn in the light, and what was glittering is now a sharp edge. 'Practice' cuts deeper than most. Taylor moves to real pathos - to beautiful, open, searing humanity. Suddenly, all that was achingly funny now just aches, and we're with him every step of the way. And when it does, just for a moment, (and you'll see it when it comes), just then: he shines.
This is for everything that shines out, that makes life worth living and, in its moment of most exquisite beauty, cuts you to your very core. Maybe that's just how life goes. But oh god, it hurts.
