Mariah Horner - Thought #9 - It's Beautiful but I Don't like It

Good morning this is Mariah Horner and this is Thought #....9!   And this morning I'm thinking about...well I've been thinking about it all weekend actually...um...I love this book by Sarah Ruhl. It's called "A Hundred Essays I Don't Have Time to Write" and it's like a hundred little paragraphs unpacking little things very briefly um...and I generally like this kind of writing it keeps me squirrely.  Um...but in the book she talks about this quote that she uses with her son which is "it's beautiful but I don't like it". And um...you know I've seen some theatre and seen some art this summer that I wasn't exactly inspired by and I challenge myself to use that phrase every time I get backed into a corner of like "that was bad" or "I didn't dig that" just because I didn't dig it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
