The poem is a metaphor for enlightenment. It is used here as a way of discussing enlightened acting. The book examines famous Zen expressions through the lens of the theatre artist. Many times, when we are pursuing our career, we get side-tracked. We care too much about the party we were not invited to or the audition we missed. We think, \"If only I did this or that.\" But a life in the theatre is a lifelong pursuit and those things are just momentary distractions. If we keep on course our chances of success increase. This book will help you keep focused.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e A. F.
